MILAN TRADE FAIR
    by Debra Moffitt

	"When you build one million square meters, you really
	don't know if what you envisioned will be good or bad,"
	says Massimilliano Fuksas, the Rome-based architect for
	the New Milan Trade Fair. The 10.8-million-square-foot
	convention complex, which opened in April 2006, has a
	mile-long canopy that wows visitors with its whimsical
	flair, transforming a glass and steel structure into a
	fabric that billows and then touches down like tornados
	to the floor.

	Constructed near Malpensa Airport, this unconventional
	center has been touted by the Italian press as on par
	with the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao by Frank Gehry and
	is considered to be Italy's new pilgrimage site.

	The convention complex defies any notion that what is
	functional must be boring. The canopy or "sail" as
	Fuksas calls it, is like a whim, solidified and
	concretized, while underneath, serious work gets done
	in exhibition halls, cafes, and offices.

De La Warr Pavilion
    by Terri Whitehead
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2006/1129/culture_1-1.html

	Located in the British town of Bexhill-on-Sea, the De
	La Warr Pavilion is a striking example of international
	modernism. It was built in 1935 by celebrated
	architects Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff and
	has recently reopened following a renovation that
	rescued it from decades of neglect and damage.
