As his multipart empire expands into the U.S., Marcel Wanders's moment has come. He's riding it for all it's worth. By Linda Tischler

In early December, in that weird social vacuum between Thanksgiving and Christmas, there's no more glorious place to be than Miami. That's when the planet's art-loving high rollers, and the scenesters who follow in their rarefied wake, descend on the city for the annual festival-cum-bacchanal Art Basel Miami Beach.

Party central for these seasonal migrants -- many of whom couldn't tell a Francis Bacon from a Kevin Bacon -- is the hotel scene on South Beach, where late-night revelers repair to the pool bars at the Delano or the Raleigh to toss back mojitos in the name of art. But this year, the epicenter is likely to shift to the $200 million Mondrian in South Beach, which will have its grand opening during the fair.

The Double Vision of John Maeda
As the new president of the Rhode Island School of Design, John Maeda brings digital artistry -- and an obsession with business -- to an ultra-analog world. By Linda Tischler

100,000 and Counting
Valerie Casey is rallying the creative community to her version of a Kyoto treaty for designers -- and her peers are signing on in droves. Now comes the hard part. By Anya Kamenetz

Fast Company is a full-color monthly business magazine that reports on innovation, digital media, technology, change management, leadership, design and social responsibility. It was launched in November 1995 by Alan Webber and Bill Taylor, two former Harvard Business Review editors. Fast Company's current editor is Bob Safian, a veteran of Fortune and Smart Money.

In 2000, Fast Company was sold to Gruner & Jahr USA, a division of media giant Bertelsmann, for $350 million. G&J sold it in 2005 and shortly thereafter exited the U.S. market.

The magazine and its website is now owned by Mansueto Ventures, a private media company controlled by Joe Mansueto, the founder and CEO of mutual-fund rating company Morningstar. Joe Mansueto became a billionaire and joined the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans when Morningstar went public in 2005. Mansueto Ventures also owns Fast Company's sister publication, Inc. Magazine, which is dedicated to covering growing businesses and entrepreneurs.

In 1997, Fast Company created one of the first online social networks, the Company of Friends.

FastCompany.com operates as a network of sites with Inc.com and is a member of the Online Publisher's Association. The website features FC Now, which launched in 2002, and was one of the first staff-written blogs maintained by a print magazine. (From wikipedia.org)
