Ha also hates Bauhaus architecture which he castigates on and on in his hate-Ayn-Rand which was reprehensively printed in American Thinker. Boo-Hiss for American Thinker for doing that. Wikepedia states: “The Bauhaus style later became one of the most influential currents in modern design, modernist architecture, and architectural education.[2] The Bauhaus movement had a profound influence on subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography.[3] Staff at the Bauhaus included prominent artists such as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Gunta Stölzl, and László Moholy-Nagy at various points.” That’s quite a bit of praise for the basis of Totty’s hit piece against Rand and the straw man Totty attempted to erect to prove her wrong. Instead it’s him who’s wrong. Here’s another Bauhaus building:
in Israel. Another example of Bauhaus is the Alan Frank House, a private residence in Pittsburgh:
The Frank House has been described as a unique synthesis between the modernism of the interwar years and the sumptuous ethos of Breuer’s so-called New Humanism. The owners who approved the design, Cecelia and Robert, considered Walter Gropius, who had recently come to the United States and become head of Harvard’s Department of Architecture, to be the world’s leading architect. and in 1941 the home was profiled in Architectural Forum. Photos were taken of the home and furnishings by renowned architectural photographer Ezra Stoller.[4] In the decades that followed, the home fulfilled its promise as an environment designed for family life, and Cecelia’s active involvement with the Pittsburgh arts and education communities made the home a well-known site for cultural and social events.

Totty, to his disgrace also criticized “Wedding Cake” architecture which can be seen here:
at 120 Wall Street in Manhattan, New York.
Totty it seems is far from able to act as a critic of architecture as he knows so little about it that he can’t even be called a student of architecture. He’s an architectural moron and proves it and American Thinker is worse off for having printed his screed.
