Richard Rogers signs off groundbreaking career with gravity-defying Château La Coste pavilion
Thrusting from the landscape in its cantilevered steel frame, Richard Rogers’ recently completed Drawing Gallery at Château La Coste in Provence will show temporary exhibitions
Last September, when Richard Rogers stepped down from the architectural practice that he founded more than 40 years ago, he still had one personal project underway. Now, the last building of Rogers’ long and distinguished career, the new Drawing Gallery at Château La Coste in Provence, is complete. It’s tiny, but spectacular. Vivid orange and hovering, apparently weightless, the building cantilevers out of a thickly wooded ridge too steep for planting the vines that grow in neat rows on either side.
According to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, billing data shows Hasson was frequently charging Medicaid allegedly to keep patients sedated for long periods of time, but an investigation by the board is underway to determine if fraud is indeed the case here.
According to the board, this is a heavily involved process and having above-average Medicaid billing reimbursements is not enough evidence of fraud.
Bobby White, chief executive officer and legal counsel for the North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners, said the board investigates and takes action against dentists where they believe fraud has happened.

died Dec. 31 from mesothelioma, a cancer that affects the lungs. He was 66.
The Lake Oswego resident, civic leader and former CEO and founder of Hasson Company Realtors was diagnosed 10 years ago with a malignant tumor caused by inhaled asbestos fibers, according to his family.
Hasson, who was a competitive athlete in high school, prepared himself physically and mentally to take on the cancer and defied the one-year prognosis for 10 years, said his brother, Barry Hasson.
“He endured surgeries and treatments without self pity,” said Barry Hasson, a builder, who does not know how his brother was exposed to asbestos. “He won battle after battle but sadly lost the war.”
