Personally I think that with a small group of exceptions such as Gropius' own residence in Mass. that the BH is limited to Germany. It kind of translates into the Int'l style once it leaves Germany.

see, I feel that architects are to dogmatic in adhering to a cannon of what is considered "bauhaus", which leads to us always seeing the same set of examples from the high priests. With this thread, I wanted people to share more common examples. To me these buildings operate under the functionalist principles of the movement, and still have solid walls.
To me, "International Style" brings to mind the glass and steel, greater emphasis on pure forms and rationalism that came after 1950 or so, vs the more solid, eccentric geometries of earlier the earlier 1930s buildings.
