Anything gentler or more sinuous may have a harder time. A multipart installation by Betty Woodman, the ceramic artist whose work is full of liquid lines, looks like somebody dropped a Matisse into The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. And Libeskind's plunging vectors will never be the ideal resting place for Vermeer or Monet--which might explain why the Denver museum will continue to house most of its older art in the more conventional galleries of the Ponti building.

The boutique's 12 floors have been transformed by 19 architecture studios from 13 countries. Each level showcases a different avant-garde interior-design concept, from Zaha Hadid's sinuous lines and fluid spaces on the first floor to an exercise in geometry and light by London-based Plasma Studio's Eva Castro and Holger Kehne on the fourth. Other designs include Teresa Sapey's colorful parking garage, Christian Liaigre's Latin-inspired restaurant, Marc Newson's glass-enclosed cocktail...
