My mom had a studio apartment in a Meis tower that was part of a project with a park and townhouses near downtown Detroit in the late 70s-early 80s. I spent a fair amount of time there and it was great. Just a little white cube with one wall of windows, it had a pacific feel and functioned exactly the way it was meant to. Any style can be abused and misused, but the International Style suffered more from its own success in the hands of capitalists and bureaucrats than from conceptual shortcomings.
