...cave; Desplat himself installed a padlock to insure they did so. "We worked under the rules we were given," says Nicolas. Geneste, responsible for monitoring the work once a week with Oudin's representative, contends that wasn't always the case. "The workers often ignored us and the architect's representative and didn't disinfect their feet," says Geneste. "They didn't keep the door closed all the time; they wanted to get the job done quickly." What's more, France's Research Laboratory of Historical Monuments (lrmh), responsible for monitoring the cave's biological condition, made no inspections during...
...evolve--sometimes into something really interesting. To see what that means right now just stand at the corner of Eighth Avenue and 57th Street in New York City and run your eyes up and down the shimmying silhouette of the Hearst Tower, a new office building by the British architect Norman Foster. What you'll be looking at may be the most gratifying specimen of Modernist invention since Foster's "gherkin," the torpedo-shaped office building he dropped on London two years ago. Or maybe since his transparent dome for the Reichstag in Berlin. Or his serene and lucid courtyard...
Foster's tower, his first sizable project in the U.S., rises from within a six-story brown masonry base that dates from the 1920s. That's when news paper baron William Randolph Hearst commissioned the architect and stage designer Joseph Urban to produce a low-rise headquarters for Hearst's growing empire.

Breyer also spoke about recent court decisions paring back the federal sentencing guidelines—decisions that Breyer has supported even though he is widely regarded as the architect of these rules. The court altered them because many lower court judges were not departing from the guidelines when the facts of their cases were atypical, he said. “Making them advisory were really what they were supposed to be to begin with,” Breyer said...
...zebu, or Malagasy cattle, and serves South African wine. The hotel's décor reflects its history: the honeymoon suite's marble bath was salvaged from the captain's quarters of a 19th century French corvette, and the restaurant's stone fireplace bears the official stamp of French architect Gustave Eiffel. But it is the garden, set in a 300-hectare rain-forest nature park, that dazzles. Here you can find 45 species of birds, boa constrictors and a giant tortoise called Galileo. "If I'd told Karl-Heinz I wanted a hotel with waterfalls, lemurs and a view...
