From Bauhaus To Our House
While people who live in stucco houses shouldn’t throw quiche, I've posted some rather unkind words about Philip Johnson after his death. But his Glass House, though clearly (heh!) inspired by Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House (but really, what was Johnson doing in the 1940s and '50s that wasn't inspired by Mies?) was such an iconic piece of Mid-Century Modern.
Meanwhile, James Lileks has some architecturally-related video that's also well worth your time.
