This past week the architect of the fabulous Pompidou Center in Paris -- Richard Rodgers -- won the highest award in architecture, the Pritzker prize. Read about it in the Times.

No, we're actually just wondering when all this will happen as talk of Silvercup's project has been around for a long time. Well, check this out for more.
