...told my dad that even though I hated every moment of the weekend, I would definitely go: The tour-guide had great sunglasses. A shallow rationale, but then again, pre-frosh is all about engaging in the superficial: People trying out new "college personalities," judging the climate, and engaging in five-second conversations about whether or not you'll decide to come...

...same kind of thinking occurs in Foster's unfinished project for the British Museum. When its library moved to massive new premises a mile away, it left behind one of the great English spaces: the 1857 Round Reading Room designed by Sydney Smirke, with its shallow dome, surrounded by a two-acre internal court.

...usually characterized by exaggerated horizontal plinths and floating fractured wedges. Her fondness for the stretch is expressed in Cincinnati partly by what she calls "the urban carpet": the street becomes the lobby floor, which slopes gently up and becomes the wall. It's also evident in the long, shallow staircase that slices through the building like a rapier.

...SALMON LIFE CYCLE: As salmon move through their cycle of birth, maturation, reproduction and death, they migrate through a variety of ecosystems where they are vulnerable almost every step of the way. The eggs A hatch in shallow streams, releasing larvae, or alevins B, which within a few months become juvenile fish called parr. Parr, in turn, grow into 8-in. smolts C in about two years, and it is these small, silvery fish that make the improbable migration from freshwater river to saltwater ocean. Smolts that survive the trip--and plenty don't--spend four years at sea, feeding...
