Architect Norman Foster discusses his own work to show how computers can help architects design buildings that are green, beautiful and "basically pollution-free." He shares projects from throughout his career, from the pioneering roof-gardened Willis Building (1975) to the London Gherkin (2004). He also comments on two upcoming megaprojects: a pipe to bring water from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, and the new Beijing airport.

Completeing the Vision:
As Silverstein Properties was preparing an historic presentation premiering the design of three new towers to be erected on the World Trade Center site, GiroudPichot [Now Piranha] created a two-minute animation representing the future development of downtown Manhattan and anticipating the renaissance of the city skyline.

In order to showcase the striking designs of the three new towers designed by Lord Norman Foster, Lord Richard Rogers and Fumihiko Maki (in addition to SOM current plan for the Freedom Tower), GiroudPichot [Now Piranha] shot aerial footage of New York City and then painstakingly integrated the four computer-generated skyscrapers into it.

In 1997 the first ad with the "Think Different" slogan

The text used in the ad :

Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones,
We see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world,
Are the ones who do.

The one-minute commercial featured black and white video footage of significant historical people of the past, including (in order) Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, John Lennon, R. Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson (with Kermit the Frog), Frank Lloyd Wright, and Picasso. The commercial ends with a young girl opening her closed eyes, as if to see the possibilities before her.

February 19, 1958

From the Forum Network's free lecture titled "Frank Lloyd Wright - Creative Mind: The Architect as Creator"
http://forum-network.org/lecture/crea...

"New York is the biggest mouth in the world. It appears to be prime example of the herd instinct, leading the universal urban conspiracy to beguile man from his birthright (the good ground), to hang him by his eyebrows from skyhooks above hard pavement, to crucify him, sell him, or be sold by him."

"Out of Americas rugged individualism captained by rugged captains of our rugged industrial enterprises we have gradually evolved a crude, vain power: plutocratic capitalism. Not true capitalism. I believe this is entirely foreign to our own original idea of democracy."

"I believe totally in a Capitalist System, I only wish that someone would try it."

"America needs no help to Broadacre City. It will haphazard build itself. Why not plan it?"

"Inevitably, there will develop a new form of community life, but just what it will be except as Broadacre City tentatively outlines it as free to grow, who can say? Not I. Who is going to say how humanity will eventually be modified by all these spiritual changes and physical advantages, sound and vision coming through solid walls to men, each aware of anything in or of the world he lives in without lifting a finger, making it unnecessary to go anywhere unless it is a pleasure to go. The whole psyche of humanity is changing and what that change will ultimately bring as future community I will not prophecy. It is already greatly changed."

A new documentary by Lucille Carra and Garry McGee about the last standing Frank Lloyd Wright hotel. Wright designed five hotels and only one, The Park Inn, remains. Twenty percent of all of Wright's structures are gone. The Park Inn, in Mason City, Iowa, opened in 1910. Combined with the adjoining City National Bank, it is an example of a rare and early mixed-use structure by Wright. During the construction of the hotel, Wright scandalized Mason City when he eloped with Mamah Cheney. Soon after, the Park Inn went into a decline, finally becoming a flophouse.
