The House

An architecture firm named Skidmore, Owings & Merrill--the group behind buildings named the Lever House, Sears Tower, and the AOL Time Warner Center--is turning 70 years young.

Clear your calendar: On September 6, little SOM is throwing a birthday bash at Aby Rosen's private Lever House terrace.

Grab the new book while you're there (it's cutely subtitled: 'The Experiment Since 1939'), and be sure to ask how the Freedom Tower or diminutive Burj Dubai are coming along.
