...Corbu as his model for the hospital was displayed in the city's Institute of Architecture. The roof height will nowhere exceed 50 ft., even where the hospital sits well clear of water on pilotis. Sandwiched between the sacred skyline and the sea is a series of enough multilevel pavilions, each caring for 50 patients, to make a 1,200-bed "machine for healing." The top floor is reserved for patients, sequestered in 10-ft. by 10-ft. rooms with skylights...
...hemmed-in, 387-acre U.C.L.A. campus. Los Angeles' notoriously deficient public transportation cannot deliver the university's mostly commuter students; yet those who drive are forbidden to park on neighboring streets. So the school has been forced to build $2,800,000 worth of multilevel parking garages, plus other parking areas, which all take in $964,000 a year in fees.

Drawing from his recollections of the Italian hill town of San Gimignano, Saarinen plotted a multilevel alleyway between the two new colleges.

On Tuesday it officially announced the substitution of a single $510 a year rent for the current, confused multilevel assessments...
George Ortman constructs more than he paints. His multilevel assemblages are children's toys of pegs and holes, painstakingly put together in a jigsaw manner. Each form is separately cut out and inserted into the frame as an illustration of the frustrating search for the round peg to fit the square hole...
