LOL....what happened to that beautiful and unique office building? Maybe we could work and get along better? Thanks for the super cool retro video. Jen

There were some pretty kitschy excesses in the 1970s. Remember the weird AMC Pacer? Or the bug-eyed Matador? Or the humongous, garish, overstyled Cadillac Eldorado pimpmobile? Not to mention the horrendous clothing fashions.

Is there even such a thing as "American design" any more? Everything is designed and produced by multinational corporations. Take cars, for example -- it seems that every car on the road these days looks Japanese!

How do you explain the ugly ass looks and designs of the early 1980s? where did they go wrong there. I wonder.

This video should be renamed "Designing the 1959 Chevy Impala".

The problem is that much of American design is that it's become only as good as -- and how many millions of copies -- one can sell it for. Contemporary design no longer leads. It follows.

Pure magic. What went so wrong design-wise in the 60s and 70s?
