...confusion, unlike the Bose and the Klipsch, the Hi-Fi can run on six D-cell batteries. In what locations without a power plug would a 14.5-lb. sound system come in handy? Up in a tree fort, perhaps? Surely even Bart Simpson would rig up an extension cord...

Environmental and civic responsibility were key considerations in the construction. Under-floor pipes, filled with discarded scalding water from a local power plant, are used to heat treatment rooms and spa pools. Meanwhile, special plumbing allows pool and bath water to be drained and used by emergency services when necessary?an important...
