Rem Koolhaas, who won architecture's Nobel Prize equivalent last year, the Pritzker, is conceptualizing the New York Prada store, which sits beneath the Soho Guggenheim Museum. Christian de Portzamparc, who won the Pritzker in 1994, designed the LVMH tower on New York's 57th Street. So when Gucci took over Yves Saint Laurent, creative director Tom Ford knew that the first task was to bring the brand's stores up to world-class...
