Being different is always relative… Mies van de Rohe seemed very different when he imported a Japanese design aesthetic, which also happened to be very ‘good’ — my piece on the Barcelona Pavilion may be of interest?

Thank you. K.L for taking the time to leave a comment. (I also note from your bio that you are a whiskey man — I’d be interested to know what style you enjoy — I enjoy a we dram of most of them! But particularly the smokey-peaty Islay whiskys.)
