The creator of fantasy cities also likes building the real thing. Frances Anderton speaks with George Lucas, patron of the new School of Cinematic Arts at USC, about buildings on screen and in reality. David Rockwell, designer of the Oscars show, tells us about how they'll make the show sparkle. And friends of Frank Gehry offer tributes as he meets a major milestone.
