The New York Times this week carried a substantial article on this architect's home.
Although unfamiliar with his work, I felt I recognised in it what I would call "warm" modernism; that is, although the house seems throughout geometric, with primary colors and other markings of modern
style, in the views displayed there was always an evidence of slight curvatures, textures and other deviations from the "machine".

I feel that this approach adds a humane feeling to architecture in any period.
I wonder if this quality, which I hesitantly call "modern entasis"
(that may be the wrong application of the term) is taught in architecture school today, and particularly whether it is found in any CAD programs....
