Its any consolation, I'm having a house built right now that I designed to look as 50's ranch/modern as possible (within the new building codes) and I'm 31. I definitely agree that we are rapidly losing the wonderful googie architecture around us.. however, there are some of us out there that are of the new generation that still love (and demand) modernism in our lives. My builder thinks I'm nuts and has to run every detail by me before I will let them do anything, and the lighting dealer hates me because i barely bought any lights from him, opting to go with vintage fixtures and repros instead.

The house won't be a real 50's house, but it should be sleek and cool and just born in 2002!
