On the left is a dashing, torqued configuration by Zaha Hadid, the London-based architect who was this year's winner of the Pritzker Prize, architecture's most prestigious award. On the right is Japanese architect Arata Isozaki's furrowed wafer of glass and steel, buttressed by diagonal struts that seem almost too slender for their supporting role.

...spicy curries and serving customers through their open car windows as in a '50s American drive-in burger joint. But that's the only Westernized touch at Hotel de Pilawoos?the food, happily, makes no such concessions. The house specialty is that sublime Sri Lankan staple, the hopper?a wafer-thin, bowl-shaped pancake with a crisp surround and soft spongy center. Made out of rice flour, yeast and coconut milk, hoppers are usually eaten with spicy sambol sauces or just a fried egg plopped in the center. They're quite light, so you'll want to order at least...
