You designed a couple of buildings that weren't structurally sound and now it's coming back to haunt you. One is crumbling; the other collapsed, killing a dozen people. Uh-oh. Whatever happened to the guy who did Pisa?

You started your own firm and have grown it from just you and your secretary to thirty-five architects working for you, designing over two hundred homes a year. Business is so good, you even gave your secretary a raise.

You're an architectural superstar—you've designed major buildings in major cities and you're a household name. Beyonce and Jay-Z ask you to design their dream home.
