I see the Brady Bunch connection also. But I do like some modernism designs. The Living Room theater is a good example, and even the Eliott Tower is, I think. The glassed in lobby is terrific IMO. And it goes real well with the modern reno of the art museum's Masonic Lodge addition (who would have thought THAT would turn out so great!!!???).

The modernism and minimalism movement is alive and well all over. But sometimes I think (just my opinion) that it goes a bit too far, and appears cold. It just doesn't seem warm and fuzzy to cuddle up to a nauga-hide modern chair with metal legs. Yeah, I know, that's furniture, but you even see one of those chairs in one of the renderings, and people who are trying for the modernist minamalist look go for that. Guess that's OK for them, but I wonder if 10 years from now people will feel like they're living in a Dr's Office kind of space.
