...took 21st century technology to create what nature had by the Triassic period: a free-range dinosaur. Built by Walt Disney Imagineering, this friendly fellow goes by the name Lucky. He's 9 ft. tall, and unlike his animatronic ancestors (which date to the singing birds and flowers in Disneyland's Enchanted Tiki Room that opened in 1963), Lucky wanders on his own, untethered by any wires and cables.

...began in 1987, when Lillian Disney, Walt's widow, provided a surprise gift of $50 million to build a new home for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, which for years had been unhappily stashed in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, a slab of '60s-style bureaucratic neoclassicism with mediocre acoustics. The following year Gehry won the competition to design the new hall.
