Might be controversial, but in my opinion the impact (and long-lasting aesthetic) of Bauhaus is much more visible in the industrial design of modern products than it is in architecture.

After all, a consumer product can win by individual choice of the consumer, with failed attempts of interpreting Bauhaus design disappearing again, which makes it easy to cite good examples of lasting Bauhaus style over time (i.e. showing similarity of Braun products with Apple design, etc.).

But a failed interpretation of Bauhaus in Architecture continues to live among us for decades, watering down the value of well-executed Bauhaus design with an appearance of being a cheap bland building...



Every Chipotle in America is part of the Bauhaus lineage. Wildly common, if not "popular."
