| The more recent opening of the Experience Music Project continued Seattle's theme of futurism through its architecture and progressive concepts. I'm still not sure that I understand what Modernism is (or was)--certainly not a style, for it encompassed Futurism and Suprematism, Dada and the Neue Sachlichkeit, lavish houses for millionaires and Existenzminimum.
