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
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.
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!
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.

Today's cars suck. America needs to get back to its roots... it's post-World War II roots...... (but stopping just before 1973).
