Rap sensation Pharrell Williams, he who designs crazy chairs with human-leg legs, is bringing his talents to the architecture sphere in a new youth center where kids can explore music, art, and more. He has partnered with Miami-based modernist architect Chad Oppenheim, whom he describes as "a guy who turns real life ideas and situations into buildings." (Quite a compliment!)
