MAXXI: National Museum of XXI Century Art, Rome, 2009
This contemporary-art center is located in a neighborhood of apartment buildings and military barracks on the edge of the city's historic district. On the outside, a cantilevered concrete box that holds a gallery (and brings to mind the pinnacle of Hadid's Bergisel ski jump) seems to peer down at visitors. The curving wall beneath it creates a countervailing field of motion. As with the BMW plant, lines of movement within and around the building are suggested by the pathways of the surrounding neighborhood. Though the museum appears to be a single structure, it's actually five buildings joined together in a way to permit essential wiggle room during an earthquake.

But there remains a surprising amount of wiggle room in international trade and commerce treaties, and that, analysts say, is where the battle is now being fought as leaders worldwide face intense pressure at home to protect domestic jobs in the deepening financial crisis.

Aug 3 (Reuters) - Food inflation in Taiwan is likely to reach a four-year high this month after a typhoon damaged crops this week, further limiting the central bank's ability to cut interest rates even as economic growth weakens.
Typhoon Saola caused about T$220 million ($7.3 million) in agricultural losses, threatening to push up food prices, which with a weighting of 25 percent are the second largest component in Taiwan's consumer price index.
That further complicates the dilemma facing Taiwan's central bank ahead of its September quarterly policy meeting, as it balances its traditional focus on price stability and controlling inflation with the need to help an economy that surprisingly contracted in the second quarter from a year earlier.
