I also hated the Dessau Bauhaus school for years for all of the loathesome little concrete bunkers that they gave genesis to with their "new style" meanderings, but then I actually went back and looked into it, a bit. There was some beautiful stuff that came out of there. And a lot of dreck. Just like Epic Records. The fact that they should have been shot for trying to make anything over 12 storeys high is another matter
The problem wasn't this pack of mavericks sitting about in Dessau, Germany - trying to marry the age of the machine to the architectural environment that it was changing - it's the fault of cocksmoking, weenie-assed contractors and hack architects who figured out that you could knock up septic tank with a pole barn roof on top; so long as you put a few windows in it, hung some aluminum siding on it, and glued a few Georgian or Italianate finials to the porch.
That, and the poeple who bought it.
