Oops. I just read my response under this subject. Make that Le Corbusier's *Pour une nouvelle architecture,* not Gropius's. The Swiss Le Corbusier never participated in the Bauhaus, although both architects' biographies share striking similarities, especially a profound influence from functional industrial architecture (especially American) of the early twentieth century. Le Corbusier's treatise on modern architecture became one of the scared texts of modernism, the Bauhaus, especially under Mies van der Rohe as the Bauhaus became more architecure-oriented, adhering to its basic tenets. ___________________________________________________________________________ William Lafferty, PhD Associate Professor Department of Theatre Arts [log in to unmask] Wright State University office: (937) 775-4581 or 3072 Dayton, Ohio 45435-0001 USA facsimile: (937) 775-3787 I have been in the scholastic profession long enough to know that nobody enters it unless he has some very good reason which he is anxious to conceal. --- Augustus Fagin, Esq., PhD, in Evelyn Waugh's *Decline and Fall* Visit *Lake Michigan Maritime Marginalia* at http://www.wright.edu/~william.lafferty ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.tcf.ua.edu/ScreenSite
