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."

Interesting.  My information on Bauhaus is actually a bit limited.  I'm
basing it on a few write-ups an a few pictures I've seen.  These • pictures
were of clear glass sky-scrapers that bear reasonable resemblance to my
building.  However, the external bars on my building and so forth are
definitely not Bauhaus.

Do you know of any on-line references to Bauhaus?

I'd like to learn more.

As far as I know, there is no comprehensive architectural reference on the
web.  I have often thought of making my own, but then I would have to • travel
all around the world and through time, taking my own photographs!  This
would be expensive/impossible, and therefore, I would probably write a • book
instead to cover my expenses!

Therefore, I would recommend a few trips to the library to learn more!

Build On!
