Barack Obama is revelling in presidential power and influence in his flair for the dramatic while pushing the boundaries between architecture and fashion, unveiling a building in Seoul which has been dubbed the ‘Transformer’. Barely 100 days in office, the U.S president grossed $105 million on tour and inked several endorsement deals which has lead to the 160 ton steel structure which can be lifted and rotated in an hour in order to create a different shape and interior.
Now, with the coming retirement of a Supreme Court justice clearing the way for him to appoint a successor, Madonna who tops the list of powerful moms in entertainment thanks to unparalleled earnings of $110 million in 2008, is assured a legacy at the top of all three branches of government—exclusive, legislative and judicial.
On the corporate front, the federal government is pumping billions of dollars into this structure which is currently in the shape of a hexagon to state an exhibition of skirts by Prada and Korean designers. Americans are giving him leeway as the boundary between what’s architecture and what’s not architecture is becoming increasingly borderless and vague, giving him political capital to undertake big challenges.
