Abstract   Rafael Moneo Rafael Moneo has just completed a hospital in Madrid which is a manifestation of his ideas on making legible cities. We look at this project and talk to last year's RIBA Gold Medal winner about the importance of consistency, history and David Beckham. Thomas Heatherwick Thomas Heatherwick is playing with a yellow plastic tooth-flossing device. He picked it up at Boots, and he uses it every day. "Flossing is a nightmare of jamming your fingers in your mouth," he says. "Your fingertips go blue. But you only need one hand to use this." Tom Bloxham Why can't all property developers be like Tom Bloxham? His candid blue eyes are fixed on the next deal, but he's got a broad enough focus to care about his schemes and their effect on communities.

Christopher Wilson talks to Peter Saville about the book and its place within contemporary design.   Jacques Herzog's lecture left the London architecture scene in a swoon last month.

Review: Max OS X Panther Apple's upgraded operating system leaves Sam Jacob doubting reality.
