THAT'S EDUTAINMENT This week the Smithsonian Institution debuts a uniquely immersive installation at its Discovery Center in Washington. Titled "Vital Space," the 2,400-sq.-ft. facility introduces audiences to "the wonders of the human body" via a 48-ft.-wide screen and 50 interactive consoles with which the audience can control the outcome of a sci-fi adventure. Hint: the Martians...
...Back in 109, Moussy is poised to become the hottest-selling label in the building, which means you'll soon be seeing knockoffs throughout Asia. Like most stores in that narrow gallery of boutiques, Moussy's floor space is less than 15 sq m, but since opening in May last year, sales have totaled around $9 million. Moussy's fashionista-in-chief Yoko Morimoto, 23, is a former karisuma tenin who is putting her own spin on kawaii. The look Moussy is flogging can best be described as otona (adult) type?sophisticated, chic, the look a girl wears when...
Since Elaine Sammons and her late husband Charles bought the now 88-year-old Grove in 1955, they've spent almost $200 million restoring its elegance as they have brought it up to date. Perhaps the most spectacular project so far is a just-opened $40 million, 40,000-sq.-ft. spa. Its theme is consistent with the style that distinguishes the entire property and moved Architectural Digest to judge Grove Park "one of the most important and most well-preserved vestiges of the Arts and Crafts movement." Built from huge boulders so that only unfinished rock face is exposed...
...Breakers was rebuilt in 1926, the cost was $6 million--a substantial amount for that time, but nothing compared with the cost of its latest nine-year restoration: $135 million. That money bought a revitalization as well as a renovation: guest rooms were done over twice; a 20,000-sq.-ft. oceanfront spa and fitness center was built; so was a new ballroom, and lobbies and loggia were restored. New restaurants and bars were added, as were adjoining tennis and golf clubs. When the Ocean Course, the oldest 18-hole course in Florida, was recently redesigned by course architect Brian...
...Paso, meanwhile, is concerned enough about the water problem to be planning what will be the largest inland desalination plant in the U.S., costing $52 million, that will clean 20 million gal. of brackish water each day. In March the city started offering residents 50[cents] per sq. ft. to rip up their water-guzzling lawns and replace them with rocks and plants native to the Chihuahua desert. Juarez has banned any new high-water use maquiladoras and is encouraging factories to build water-recycling facilities...
