Last week-end, I travelled to Hamburg to celebrate the birth of my brother's first daughter. Occasionally, I had the time to walk around a little bit and do some sketches. The new HafenCity is growing and and getting complete, with great architecture by Behnisch Architekten, Ingenhoven Architekten, Code Unique Architekten, Rem Koolhaas or Herzog & de Meuron. But there's still some very interesting...

On this fine fall day I have an afternoon meeting near downtown Chicago. 17th floor. Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). Yes, that's Mies van der Rohe's Crown Hall you see in the center. And Helmut Jahn's IIT dorm on the right, "kissing" Rem Koolhaas / OMA's student center just behind it - the one with the "groove tube" to dampen the sound of the elevated train as it roars through...

Except in Dallas, that is, where the skyline made famous by the J.R. Ewing clan on television 30 years ago has undergone multiple transformations.

Dallas has spent more than three decades piecing together an ambitious downtown "arts district" in the area around the Dallas Museum of Art.

The British architect recently won the Stirling Prize, Britain's highest architectural honor. But was the prize meant as a way for U.K. modern architects to give the finger to Rogers' prime antagonist — and theirs — Prince Charles?
