Hearst Tower
On Friday I had the opportunity to tour Hearst Tower with Hearst Senior V.P. for Integrated Media, Jeff Hamill. Hearst Tower is Norman Foster's magnificent creation on 57th & 8th Avenue in NYC and is the new home to the Hearst Corporation. Foster preserved six stories of Joseph Urban's original Hearst Building to serve as a base for his new tower design.

7th Hiroshima Art Prize: Cai Guo-Qiang
