...like no other building in New York. Huge, cantilevered stories jut outward rather than recede, as in most commercial buildings. The ground floor is cut off from the street by a sunken sculpture garden, already dubbed "the Moat," spanned by a partially canopied bridge. As last week's opening-night throng of 4,000 quickly discovered, such architectural novelty has certain distinct advantages. Arriving in the pelting rain, the guests had no sooner ducked under the stone canopy than they discovered that the bridge ahead of them (see opposite) was bone dry, sheltered by the towering, projecting museum wings...
Looking like a gigantic porte-cochere at first glance, the four-story Arts Center serves visually as a gateway to the campus. Functionally, its elevated wing contains artists' studios; clerestories jut up above the roof line to catch the light; galleries and staircases are cantilevered out into space; practice rooms on the ground floor declare themselves by their irregular shapes, which baffle the sound. "I'm not looking for beauty," says Rudolph, "but I'm looking for what's meaningful...
...Gimmicks. There is an almost machinelike singlemindedness about him. His most vehement cuss words are "darn" and "dad-gum." A jut-jawed six-footer, he never smokes, drinks little, swims and plays tennis to remain at a flat-bellied 180 Ibs.-only 10 Ibs. over his cadet weight. Says Major General Richard Stilwell, commander of the U.S. Military Advisory Group in Thailand: "He has no gimmicks, no hand grenades or pearl-handled pistols. He's just a very straightforward, determined man." Few who know him doubt that he will some day be Army Chief of Staff...
...sand to pebble to worn rocks. Here and there, cool mountain streams spill over steep cliffs into small, semitropical coves, and everywhere unexploited ruins lend an air of timeless tranquillity. Marble columns stand cool and sublime amongst pine trees, crusaders' castles tower above rocky promontories, and old fortresses jut out into the ocean. Most wonderful of all, the coast is virtually devoid of tourists. The reason is simple enough. Most of the Turkish Riviera has barely been touched by the 20th century. The hotels are few and Spartan, the food is good but unfamiliar, the night life...
Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Hancock Center will taper to less than half-size at the top, stand on splayed steel legs, and jut out from Chicago's skyline like an enormous, glass-enclosed oil derrick. But far more revolutionary than its façade will be its double-duty interior plan. From the 43rd floor down, it is an ordinary office building, complete with seven floors of ramp-access parking. But from the 44th floor up, it turns into an apartment house with its own indoor swimming pool, enclosed shopping promenade and a topfloor restaurant...
