A design chameleon, architect Philip Johnson (1906-2005) continually changed styles over his long career to embrace the new. Mr. Johnson started out as a modernist, basing his 1949 Glass House in New Canaan, Conn., on Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's pared- down buildings. Tired of the austerity, he dabbled in abstracted neoclassicism before delving into postmodernism during the 1980s to create decorated high-rises such as the Chippendale-inspired AT&T (now Sony) tower in midtown Manhattan.
If you could own just four mutual funds, which would they be? Today's investors rarely adhere to the "less is more" philosophy of the minimalist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
Modernism has returned to architecture with a vengeance. Austere, glass-and-steel buildings, descendants of those from the 1950s and 1960s, are rising once again on skylines all over the country. Washington, a city always lagging behind design trends, is finally catching up with several low-rise examples of the mod revival. The best of these, opening this fall, make use of advanced glass technologies, achieving the lightweight, ethereal look that 20th- century architects like Ludwig Mies van der Rohe could only dream about. In Europe, the modern movement never really died, as it did in this country when historicism took over architecture in the 1980s. So it's unsurprising to find the latest iteration of modernism wholeheartedly embraced by diplomatic missions from across the Atlantic.

NEW YORK - Everybody knows what the Empire State Building looks like. That's why Rick Bell, the head of the Center for Architecture, didn't put the famous skyscraper on his list of 10 great buildings to see in New York. But the list from the Center for Architecture, which is the American Institute for Architects chapter in New York, does include the Conde Nast Building in Times Square, which is considered the first green skyscraper; the Apple store in SoHo, noted for its glass bridge and staircase; and the Seagram Building, the only design in New York by famed architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

Native Baltimorean Mark Fetting has a deep love for his hometown, but that affection has recently made his job as CEO and chairman of Legg Mason Inc. more challenging. In May the asset management company announced it would slash 350 back-office jobs from its work force, 250 of them in Baltimore and Owings Mills, putting Fetting on the hot seat with locals.
