Dirk,
Thanks for the URL. I remember visiting there once before. I am aware
International Style grew out of Bauhaus which started in Germany and a
significant piece of it (if not all of it) moved to the U.S. (Chicago??) as a
result of the Nazi's. In Bauhaus and Internat'l Style I see a many geometrics
. . . interesting repetition from certain perspectives . . . which can make
an abstract subject (material and form). As yet I haven't been able to get
these structures (including Bauhaus) to "speak" to me and tell their story . .
. how they came to be, telos, etc. Maybe I'm missing it, but that is how I
approach an architectural object . . . it has to "speak" to me and "tell" me
what it is. OTOH, I can "hear" other structures associated with modernism
including some of Frank Lloyd Wright's.
I promise to keep trying with them. :-)
