Harvard already tried once to achieve architectural significance at 90 Mt. Auburn St., hiring Austrian Hans Hollein (winner of the Pritzker Prize, architecture’s highest honor) to create a unique building for the site. His design called for a bifurcated, undulating wire mesh screen set in front of a glass facade. Since the building will house library administrators, many thought the design was reminiscent of an open book. While I wouldn’t accuse Hollein of being that cutesy, I would say that his design had an element of gimmickry. Any time an architect departs from...
Neon Golden is repetitive. Along with Acher’s unaffected voice, the rhythm programming lends a steady, structured calm to the disc. But despite the songs’ tendency to mesh together, they never get boring. Rather, they cohere into an intriguingly dreamy, otherworldly sensation that pulsates with occasional surges of energy...
Keyser quickly gained possession of the ball twice, and rippled the mesh for a pair before Brown ever touched the ball...
...just about everywhere. Rigid solar panels have traditionally resisted wavy walls and curvy roofs, which designers love; now they'll be able to hold the energy-producing material. The flexible solar cells, developed by Spheral Solar of Cambridge, Ontario, work by embedding silicon beads in an aluminum and plastic mesh. Each bead works like a tiny solar cell, turning light into electricity. And the material not only produces energy cleanly, but the silicon used is itself a waste product of the microchip industry. The flexible solar cells come into production next year. "The new material is far more robust than...
...better to think of America's pop-culture choices not as a monolithic State of the Union address but rather as a mix CD we make every year. The tempo and tone don't always mesh. Some of the songs have a direct message; some have emotional meaning; and some, in gimlet-eyed retrospect, make you wonder why you ever picked them in the first place (this means you, Anna Nicole). But then you play that CD back on the stereo, a few older, fatter years later. Your toe taps. A memory comes back. And you realize that in that...
