Hughes lives happily in a 2,300-sq.-ft. loft-his "plywood palazzo"-but, when pressed, he picks the man to design his dream house: New York's Richard Meier, whose work he analyzes in this week's story. And Hughes would have Cover Subject Philip Johnson whip up a "gazebo-cum-study...
Senior Reporter-Researcher Sara Medina lives in a renovated brownstone apartment that she describes as "almost a dream house: it has a skylight, a graceful stair well and lots of light and space." Its only disadvantage is that it was not designed by her favorite architect-her husband.

The author of Death of a Salesman spent a month gathering material for a book, Chinese Encounters, a joint venture with his photographer wife Inge Morath.
