Not sure about the rest of the world, but in the southwest, LA to Phoenix, the modernism of Bauhaus has more sway in contemporary starchitecture than post-modernism.

Though, for interior design, I think that more humanizing post-modern styles tend to be far more pervasive, but as mentioned the buildings don't work super well - Bauhaus did manufacturability right.
