...pioneer of Brit high tech, he's committed to environmentally sustainable design. And during the Tony Blair years in the U.K., he's made himself into an architectural and city planning power at home, pushing for real architecture over kitsch revivalism and for high-density city living over suburban sprawl. (And also for a 2012 London Olympics that will be something better than a design dead zone.) I'm sorry he got involved with the World Trade Center site in Manhattan, where he, Foster and Fumihiko Maki are each designing office towers that will form an ill-conceived and oversized...

You don't need a museum to tell you that this stuff is great...
...South Florida fretted about its schools, sprawl and spiraling costs of living half as much as it agonized over its Miami Dolphins, the place might actually be the paradise it claims to be. But for now, it's loudly gnashing its sun-baked teeth at Nick Saban, the oily Dolphins coach who bolted for the University of Alabama this week after telling Miami fans over and over that he would do no such thing...
