BauHaus is the Corporate Mind and looks like absolute ****.


That's because you're in the USA and only got the bad stuff. Mies van
der Rohe period Bauhaus was the degenerate art of a degenerate
society. All the interesting ideas were purged to fit in with snipped
for Goodwins Law and later on for Ayn Rand (I always get those two
confused anyway).

Johannes Itter as Corporate Mind ? The guy was as crazy as a Usenet
poster!

For good International style, look at the South Coast of England - De
La Warr pavilion, Burgh Island hotel (watch any BBC Agatha Christie),
any of Lubetkin's work.
