Yes, if Toyota - and a few others - have anything to do with it. -- Malta's bombed-out opera house soon to be home to parliament. -- L.A.'s Ambassador Hotel loses out to school (coffee shop as teacher's lounge, nightclub as auditorium…not much else left). -- Politics threaten Hemingway home in Havana. -- Edinburgh's Old Town might get a new design center. -- Australia's National Portrait Gallery finally getting enough walls for its portraits. -- IDSA conference takes on "Utopian Realities." -- Exhibition coming to Tel Aviv surely to raise some hackles (and hopefully some constructive discourse). -- "Shrinking Cities" competition has some decidedly daring winners. -- Ballpark designer hopes for home run in National Design Awards.
