^so... a rowhouse with brick walls that help with climate control, bay windows that let in a lot of light, and a pitched mansard roof that sheds snow and rain and allows for an extra story up top... is completely irrelevant to modern life?
what I can't stand about modernism is the arrogant assumption that pre-Bauhaus architecture was somehow NOT functional, and that the past has nothing to teach us.
