...Jean Nouvel is standing in midair with his arms held high. O.K., he's not really in midair. He's standing on a window. Well, not exactly a window. It's a 1.5-m-by-3-m plate of glass that's set into the floor of a long corridor of his new Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It's the corridor that's in midair. Actually, it's not simply a corridor. It's more a kind of covered bridge to nowhere that cantilevers 54 m across and 18 m above the city's West River Parkway. And then...
...Cheesecake Factory's epic epicurean tasting trips. Twice a year, Overton and his team of R&D chefs visit the best restaurants in New York City, London, Singapore and other cities.

A weeklong trip might include three lunches and dinners every day, during which they often taste every item on the menu--plus snacks...

The new machine represented a major change in the way Lascaux's delicate balance of temperature and humidity had been regulated for more than three decades. The old system, installed in 1968 after years of minute studies of the cave's climate, relied on Lascaux's natural currents to pass air over a cold point and ensure...
...Jean Nouvel is standing in midair with his arms held high. O.K., he's not really in midair. He's standing on a window. Well, not exactly a window. It's a 5-ft. by 10-ft. plate of glass that's set into the floor of a long corridor of his new Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minn. It's the corridor that's in midair. Actually, it's not simply a corridor. It's more a kind of covered bridge to nowhere that cantilevers 178 ft. across and 60 ft. above the city's West River Parkway. And then...
