I feel like such a Philistine now.

So I'm watching CBS This Morning, and this report comes on about the Farnsworth House in Illinois. There's an architectural critic on who goes on and on about what a masterpiece of Bauhaus architecture this is (they were a decent band, not sure how they do as architects, but "Bela Lugosi's Dead" is a good song), and, at the end, we're told it sold at auction for $7 million, approximately.

But the whole time I'm looking at the shots of it, especially the exterior shots, and I'm saying "It looks like a trailer up on blocks!"

Judge for yourself here.

Maybe it's just a sign that I've lived in Kentucky far too long. tongue

cheech:
Hmm, is "Bauhaus" German for "boxy"? I mean, this looks to me like a fairly decent, very right-angled simple modern design... what the White Stripes called de stijl. I think sometimes minimalism can produce a masterpiece, but I'd like to use the term "masterpiece" minimally, so I'll say that the house is "nice."
