...Bilbao Of Business Schools
...home of the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, is an eye-catcher that's also suited to its purpose. Architect Frank Gehry crafted the exterior in the warped-metal style he made famous with his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Gehry designed the interior to mimic real-world business environments. An oval classroom is reminiscent of a corporate conference room. The classrooms are interspersed among faculty offices and meeting areas so the "bosses" and the "workers" can bump into one another. The school also boasts a high-speed computer network with ports...
...trip to Bilbao, Spain, two years ago, Lotti was struck by the wildly spiraling metallic towers of the Guggenheim Museum. "It looked so different from everything around it," he recalls. "I wanted to do the same thing with a shoe."

During the cold war, it was used primarily to build aircraft. When this need abated, the titanium industry promoted its other uses. Up to four times as strong as steel and half the weight, titanium is ideal for tennis rackets and skis. More cost-efficient ways to cut the metal...
