By Laurie Niles: I realized on Thursday night that despite having listened to recordings of the Alban Berg Violin Concerto countless times, I hadn't come close to understanding it. Seeing a live performance enlightened me; moreover, seeing a live performance with violinist Gil Shaham , conductor Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Disney Hall energized my senses. The evening also included...

Above is a rendering of what the San Francisco skyline might look like, 20 or 25 years hence, if six new proposed skyscrapers actually get approved and built, including the central 950-foot Transbay Tower, which would be 100 feet taller...

At a topping-off ceremony for his Beekman Tower yesterday, 80-year old architect Frank Gehry took to the podium and made one of those slightly randy jokes that men can get away with when they're 80. Mr. Gehry pointed his finger upright toward the 76-tower residential complex and bluntly proclaimed: "No Viagra." Mr. Gehry said he will wait awhile to see the view from what will eventually...

Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the Wii-holder. The Charge Base IC is a $34.99 induction charging device for Wiimotes and looks like something out of a Frank Lloyd Wright sketchbook. The base sits firmly on the ground while sweeping cantilevered arms reach out to cradle your Wiimotes with magnets. It’s almost graceful, [...]

Graziano Freschi, experienced travel writer and connoisseur writes.... It is hard to imagine, when you visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both pleasant, prosperous and laid back cities, that nearly 65 years ago they were the target of the Atomic Bomb and its horrific aftermath. Hiroshima today is a mid-size city cris-crossed by rivers and waterways. It dispalys the usual prosperity of Japanese cities, with...

Curbed You missed Frank F’n Gehry this morning at the Beekman Tower topping off ceremony. The most classic one liner ever. Bruce Ratner is giving his speech praising unions. Blah blah blah. Then he calls up the "great" Gehry to say a few words... Frank gets up to the mic and pauses... He looks up to the sky and the 76-story building for about 3 seconds... Looks at everyone and says...

This latest in a long line of denunciations of Le Corbusier , written by my favorite atheistic pessimist, Theodore Dalrymple, is a little too heavy on assertion, I agree. If you already have an opinion of Le Corbu's buildings, words like "monstrous" and "ugly" won't change it.
