@vgr actually, I take that back. The best analog is “From Bauhaus to Our House.” It’s reactionary, but nuanced.

@eli_schiff I don’t want to say “expressive” interfaces are a dead end — indeed, I think we’re seeing aspects come back, with good reason. -
@eli_schiff but I think Wolfe’s mistake is to argue that because many (most?) modern buildings sucked, Modernist architecture was a mistake. - Show replies

@eli_schiff Absolutely. But I think by iOS 6, the skeuomorphist impulse had become Academic. Always the same layer styles and 1px highlight. -
