...story zinc-clad upper portion with an irregular and eye-catching window pattern, which is built on top of and within an existing six-story masonry warehouse. It was the SHoP architects who discovered the old warehouse. Then they went to Jeffrey M. Brown Associates, a Philadelphia-based developer and former client, to broach the idea of partnering with him to purchase and transform the property. That architects-as-developers business model is one they have since used to generate several other projects...
Politicians don't give speeches like the one Barack Obama delivered this morning at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Certainly presidential candidates facing the biggest crisis of their campaigns don't. At moments like these - when circumstances force them to confront and try to defuse a problem that threatens to undermine their campaigns - politicians routinely seek to clarify, diminish and then dispose of the problem.

Plus it's a team that's got a strong storyline. They have to try to recover from what happened to them last fall. So there are a lot of things going there...
...time for a prestigious commission to re-examine all autobiographies, including classics like Rousseau's Confessions and The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. That business about walking through Philadelphia carrying bread rolls under his arms has a suspiciously raconteurial told-once-too-often feel about it, don't you think? And anything involving wolves requires special scrutiny. It's only a matter of time until Little Red Riding Hood admits that her story was "exaggerated" to protect her grandma, who at the time was "still in the closet." (The Big Bad Wolf, in his version of the story, will promise...
