...that lightens the building's mass and brings the sky itself into play. The Spanish designer Santiago Calatrava is by training both an architect and an engineer, and his new high-rise projects wear their engineering on their sleeves.

Now an associate professor of migration and ethnic relations at Sweden's Malmö University, Roald has seen attitudes toward her faith shift from indifference to begrudging tolerance mixed with mostly quiet disdain. "Scandinavians want to be inclusive, but it's difficult," she says, especially after Sept. 11. Thanks in part to Osama bin Laden, Roald and other Muslims unfairly bear what...
