Last week, in a report that was as heartening as it was authoritative, the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center, often called upon to test consumer attitudes for the Federal Reserve Board, reported that beneath the consumer's somewhat hesitant exterior still beats a buying heart of gold...
Untranquilizing as was the heaving exterior, the interior was still more disturbing. What most visitors saw first walking through the caterpillar's insides was the figure of a gaunt man with porthole-sized gaps in his anatomy, holding a staff topped with a mostly black butterfly.

To strengthen the structure against winds, he designed concrete sheer walls for two sides in the rear. Bronze sheathing for the exterior appealed to Mies because "it is a very noble material and lasts forever if it is used in the right way." Expected to weather to a darker shade, except where the wind scours the edges bright, the bronze will be hand-wiped from top to bottom with lemon oil whenever...
