SAYING SAVOYE...


[Seeing] elegance is a very subjective
opinion. I mean, look at that, is it just art or
is it just engineering? There is a happy
marriage between art and engineering —
proving that you can actually get something
done, moving society forward, without
having to deprive them of aesthetics. And
Bauhaus was also very self referential, as in
it did not particularly address a particular
nation — thus it was called the International
Style. Thus it became universal and eternal.
