I agree with you, I like most of the examples shown that are supposed to horrify you. I like most of the traditional, "good" examples too, but not reflexively.

The points made are reasonable, though, and not the first time they've been made.

Yup. I don't like the old hospital because it seems to be made of ornament, which is too much. Some of the modern buildings look nice.

Also, the author seems to be saying that Walter Gropius only created jarring monsters, which isn't true. I'm not sure about him personally, but the Bauhaus, the architecture school he co-founded, produced plenty of pleasant-looking though minimally ornamented buildings. The original Bauhaus stuff looks so much better than the bland stuff that hack imitators created later.

I found all of them looked awesome. Also, I hate it when articles tell me what I should think or that my taste is wrong.
