Modernist architecture was capable of delivering great excitement, and great squalor. This 'world-wide tour in ten slides' of some of the modern era's 'marvels' gives you a bit of both.
On which side would you place the Farnsworth House, by Mies van der Rohe, which is included as one of the ten?
You might be surprised to learn that it wasn't built in Omaha last year, but in Plano Illinois in 1945-51.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
