Most striking is the glass Oval Lingotto, which will house speed skating now and conventions in the future: its transparent top is suspended without pillars to create a sweeping open space. Gae Aulenti, the Italian architect who turned Paris' Gare d'Orsay into a stunning modern museum, has applied her magic to the 1960s-era Palavela skating rink.

Architect Gae Aulenti's visitors' center offers audio guides, and next summer guests will be able to take illuminated evening walks. The restoration, which includes the replanting of tree and shrub species from Rivarola's original garden, will continue for at least another year.

In San Francisco last week, the Asian Art Museum celebrated the opening of a sizable new home in the city's former main library, a 1917 neoclassical building reconceived by Gae Aulenti, the Italian designer who updated the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. It's no mystery why the largest American museum devoted to Asian art should be located in a city where some 40% of the population is of Asian descent, chiefly Chinese and Philippine, but including Indian, Pakistani, Lao, Vietnamese and Korean...
