Actually, I've used www.greatbuildings.com, but this is more of a reference
rather than a tutorial.  Also, they are annoyingly lacking pictures on about
3/4 of their building descriptions!

As far as the Bauhaus style,  I probably should have been more clear.  I
originally designed a very stark, curved glass shell for this building, that
I think was quite "Bauhaus" in nature (at least it looked a lot like some of
the pictures I have).  However, I decided to play with it a bit and added
the white "exoskelleton."  Then, I put on the UFO sections below, the water
around it, the palm trees, and the raised entry ways.  I agree that the
final model looks more "Miami" than "Bauhaus."
