...features sail-like steel-and-glass skylights, pictured, employs granite in abundance and is attached by a dramatic glass bridge to the recently renovated Tschuggen Grand Hotel. "I wanted the structure to have a deep, instant and intense bond with its surroundings," Botta says of the native raw materials he used. The four-story, 3,500-sq-m retreat includes year-round indoor and outdoor pools outfitted with jets, waterfalls and synchronized hydrotherapy stations; several hot-and-cold wading baths; a trio of saunas; and a pair of relaxation areas with open fireplaces.

Raw-foodists are not heavyset, and many of them have an anticonsumerist philosophy that fits in nicely with small portions. I do not have such a philosophy. The $100 RAWvolution delivery that was supposed to last five days was half gone by the end of the first.
