...Nuclear Reactor Building in Israel could be a medieval cloister, topped by a huge, 20-sided tower that seems to change its shape with the movement of the sun. In the Four Seasons Restaurant-as hedonistic as a Caesar's court-light ripples up and down aluminum loop window shades, plays upon the slender rods of the stair rails. Johnson calls his 1957 Boisson-nas house "my first non-Miesian house." Gone is the "flowing space" that made one room run into another: "Here you go from room to room with doors that close."

Architect Louis Sullivan was the father of the modern skyscraper, but the tallest structure he ever got to build was the 17-story Garrick Building on Randolph Street in Chicago's Loop. It was a theater topped by offices, and in its best days it was a masterpiece of soaring arches, spiraling staircases, and original, light-catching setbacks.

Architect Bertrand Goldberg, 46, a onetime student of Mies van der Rohe. devotes the first 18 floors of his pair of circular towers to a spiral ramp for automobiles, and the top 40 stories to pie-shaped apartments, each with its own balcony. Called Marina City, the project will fill a 3.1-acre plot, now occupied by a railroad siding bordering on the Chicago River hard by the famed Wrigley Building, will include drydock storage space...
