"The Dutch avant-garde architect Robert van ’t Hoff (1887-1979) realized a small and distinctive oeuvre. As a member of De Stijl, he strove together with other artists to create a new everyday environment. His work is characterized by a strong social engagement stemming from an anarcho-communist body of thought".

But the story was that once he got socially engaged (designing communal buildings, as far as I remember) his career ended - none of his social projects fuelled by his beautiful ideals was ever realized. And he died in a small house in England.
I don't know how about you guys, but I don't mind dying in a small house in England.
