During the late 1920s, she was said to be the highest-paid entertainer in Europe and was certainly among its most photographed - inspiring fashion designers and a frenzy of suitors (she received around 1,500 marriage proposals...

...also the best evidence in years that the design options made possible by computers, which allow architects to experiment with the structural stability of some very unconventional forms, are well along in transforming the language of architecture. That means a future with more buildings that are whimsical, sensual and possessed of a substantial wow factor. In the end, however much the Parasol works as a caf or a concert venue, wowing may be its abiding function. That's one reason Terence Riley, the chief architecture curator of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, decided to feature...
