No, this is not about how the news media is distorting and underplaying important facts to sell a dishonest narrative, but about modern architecture and how it’s… well… awful.
As an engineer, for me function is far more important than form. Building a supersonic aircraft to look “cool” is insane because the margins of performance and profit are narrow enough as-is. But *buildings?* Civil engineering has big fat margins. Here you have the capacity to make things actually seem livable and comfortable. So modern architecture which *looks* like soulless boxes of cheap concrete and metal and glass are, at best, wasted opportunities.
