Magnificence and Luminescence behind Gates

Genua is a city whose numerous narrow, centuries-old alleys with houses wind themselves alongside the hills. On summer days, the heat and humidity are captured here. Sometimes, there is a light breeze and I try to dry my wet forehead by turning my head to put together a clear thought.

Hearst Tower for Hearst

TOWER: Idea Identity Icon

Perhaps there’s no simpler way to gauge a new building’s hold on its city’s collective imagination than by noting the frequency with which passersby feel compelled to pull out their cameras.  If true, then Hearst Tower has few equals among the architectural paparazzi – jaw-dropping tourists and jaded townsfolk alike who jostle to capture its unique form with their lens. In their attempts to shoot its interior lobby, they can be charmingly brazen. But then, so is Hearst Tower.
