Thanks for both articles :)
Unfortunately without a photo of his architecturally outstanding house,
though.

"From Bauhaus, all the students of the Bauhaus School, and Pierre
Chareau, he did the House of Glass in Paris, Ludwig Mies van de Rohe,
all the Wright family, Rudolph Michael Schindler and Richard Neutra. I
like really beautifully designed, minimal things." And moreover:
"German design is usually very pure, and sparse, and solid and
functional. And those are exactly the features I like", he said in
that interview (geocities,com). As to the technical aspects: "In many
cases the look and materials. The Germans are known for very good
craftsmanship and so if the thing is built, you know it's going to
work. That's for sure."

All sort of standard dances (foxtrot, waltz, tango, cha-cha, rock
'n' roll...). Later on, we went to the smaller discos in the
Fischergasse, right around the corner.

Do you really use the French word 'badinage' in English?
