In its wake came jobs to design a hotel, airbases in Morocco, and three towns in Okinawa. Having achieved a reputation for bigness, S.O.M. earned a name for high-quality design with Manhattan's Lever House. Lever has since been copied so often?and so badly?that it has lost much of its impact. But 16 years ago, it astonished and delighted...
