BORROMINI AWARDS TO KLOTZ AND NOUVEL In June, 2001, Chilean architect Matthias Klotz won the first Francesco Borromini International Award for Young Architects. In a profession where many practitioners reach their full potential late in life, this award celebrates the promise and achievements of architects whose career is still young.

MORE STAFF IN LESS SPACE Despite a wobbling economy, some U.S. companies are still experiencing explosive growth. Yet partly because of it, many growing companies are reluctant to take on additional space. Instead, they do all they can to squeeze more people into tighter confines, eventually stretching their building infrastructure beyond its limits.

FINNISH VARIATIONS Contemporary Helsinki is anything but a sleepy small town as one might know it from the films of Aki Kaurismaki. Even though today's inhabitants don't lack any of the charm of the Leningrad Cowboys, the economic boom propelled by communication technology has altered the scene: entire areas of the city are renewed, rebuilt, re-invented.

UK GARDEN OF EDEN It was like a scene out of Stanislaw Lem's science fiction classic Solaris, with the swirling mists spiraling upward from a giant crater deep within the earth. Slowly, through the haze, emerged a city, no ordinary urban conurbation but an epicenter under giant geometric domes on a lunar landscape. This is not life, as we know it, this is the future. Welcome to the Eden Project.
