Space & Speedometers. Motorola was founded in 1928 in a one-room Chicago loft, made mostly car radios until World War II, when it developed the walkie-talkies that became almost as universal as the Jeep. It still outsells all competitors in two-way radios for police cars, fire trucks, taxicabs and other vehicles, is also developing sophisticated models for space that will carry voices across 250,000 miles...

Berliners hope that landscaping will mitigate its bareness, and stake the hall's claim to greatness on its interior...
