What’s the modern monument in 2011? In Mexico City, it’s Fernando
Romero’s Museo Soumaya, which he built for his father-in-law (the
world’s richest man). In Nanjing, it’s Steven Holl’s Art &
Architecture Museum, which hasn’t yet been visited despite being
completed for years. In Russia, it’s David Adjaye’s Moscow School of
Management. Meanwhile, Sandra Hiari wonders if Amman will ever be a
truly walkable city, and biographer Franz Schulze digs into the private
lives of famous architects.
