Profile Series 4: Frank Sinatra School for the Arts, Standard Hotel, Penn State Dickinson School of Law, Newseum. Parallel to the architecture story is a guest "essay," which illuminates an aspect of the building's client, program or site that informed the design. Guest essays have included poems, speeches and essays by a variety of people including significant personalities involved on the client-side or people whose reflections somehow enhance the understanding of the project.
