Bauhaus unleashed on the world the tyranny of modern architecture and spawned architectural oppression and ugliness in place of the beauty, harmony and symmetry of the earlier style.

I think some of the Bauhaus designs are very interesting but as with other modern art movements the next school had to push the envelope even more so it turned ugly.

Yeah. Read Tom Wolfe’s “From Bauhaus to Our House”. A great little book that savages the architectural field for it’s idiocy.

While not directly derived from Bauhaus:

Some will argue that the functionality of Soviet architecture excuses its general ugliness, I would argue that buildings that cannot heat above 40 degrees F. in the winter are not functional as shelter.

If you live in a cluttered house the openness and clean lines of modern are appealing. (Flat roofs are not...)
