...curator of a current exhibition on automobiles at London's Royal College of Art. No product but the car demands such elegance in spite of its complexity. No other consumer commodity is expected to be so exclusive and yet so affordable. So personal. So emotional. "I don't think [Target executive] Ron Johnson, Martha Stewart or I would be able to talk as much about design today if it weren't for what has happened in automotive design," says architect Graves.

Maybe the object was a supernova, an exploding star, which often projects what Djorgovski calls a "weird-looking" spectrum.

Ron Johnson, who runs the home-decor division for Target, suggested Graves stroll one of the company's 800 or so stores and place a Post-it note on every product that needed improvement. Replied the man who recently designed the award-winning Denver Central Library: "I'm not sure there are enough Post-it notes in the world...
