Modern studios use machines with spring mechanisms adapted from his original apparatus. The classes can be expensive; one-on-one sessions are in the $50-to-$60-an-hour range.

The majority of these buildings were situated in cities, unlike the houses, and thereby led Meier to face new issues peculiar to construction in urban environments. Both special zoning regulations and the precarious place of modern architecture in the chronology of currently developing cities posed difficult obstacles for him. In the German Museum of Decorative Arts, a zoning restriction which divided the building into five-story and seven-story sections led to the inclusion of a large, delineated window (filled with space not glass...
