Hovering between and beyond these styles are the Hung-Up, Freaked-Out and Put-Down. Ann Halprin, 47, wife of San Francisco Architect Lawrence Halprin, is a Hung-Up who likes to hang up her dance-workshop students on a cargo net and, shifting their positions in the webbing, stage a kind of spider-and-fly routine. Erick Hawkins, 54, Graham's former husband, is a Freaked-Out who finds Method in the madness of portraying such things as a pine tree and a shy squash. His movements, though, are often so blandly repetitive that he would do better...
Prime mover behind Atlanta's "oneman urban-renewal plan" is Architect John Portman, 43, who has won hometown honors, architectural awards-and become a millionaire to boot-by insisting that he be both promoter and part owner as well as designer for all of Peachtree Center. Making himself his own client is the only way, Portman has found, to retain "the authority to see that the project is carried out properly and not botched along the way." In his multiple role, he has seen to it that the buildings are a far cry from the run-of-the-drafting...
...Mattapan Plan will survive its State House opposition and be enacted. But the uncertainty remains, and construction may be held up for months before the Library gives architect I. M.

Designed by Los Angeles Architect William Pereira (TIME cover, Sept. 6, 1963), it is a 10,000-acre, $300 million resort complex that will have 15 hotels, a 27-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones, four shopping centers, a silk-stocking residential area for 120,000 people and a zoological garden designed...
Cropsey, a Dutch Reformed elder of Dutch-French parentage and a staunch romantic idealizer of nature, was born on Staten Island and trained as an architect in New York City. He was not an artist of wide-ranging scope, but he excelled at one uniquely American subject: the blazing radiance of Yankee countryside in autumn. Cropsey's magnum opus, Autumn on the Hudson River, now in the National Gallery, was completed in 1860, while the artist was living in London, and commemorated a view near West Point overlooking Storm King Mountain. The panorama includes hunters, grazing sheep, and sailboats...
