I've recently been reading all about architects who follow bauhaus philosophy.

I've built plenty of houses. Roughly one every 6 months for the past 20 years, and I always get excited when I get to build something I actually like. At this point in my life I'm finally looking to build my own home, and it will absolutely be a bauhaus style modern.

What I recall is that, if the house is built where there's a lot of precipitation, it will be prone to leaks. Of course, there's been a lot of homebuilding technology improvements since Tom Wolfe wrote that book.

Typically flat roofs in the past were tar roofs,and yes they suck. But these days you can get a rubber roof which will outlast Kieth Richards if built properly.
