Even if a building is not sliced and shredded at the design stage, there is another way in which the box is being overwhelmed. The standard office tower can be covered these days with electronic signage, huge liquid-crystal display screens, Jumbotron TVs and zip strips of news and stock quotes.

This year the automobile industry produced a vehicle powered by liquid hydrogen; Detroit plans to have fuel-cell cars on the roads in 2004. (I assume yours run on carrots.) The computer industry comes up with a "killer app" every 18 months. With silicon chips reaching their limit, the industry announces "molecular computing"--shrinking computer circuits to the size of molecules. Soon...
