What if "beautiful buildings" are simply too expensive to build nowdays and there are cheaper alternatives that are functional, yet look sterile and boring? There is a reason almost nobody builds brick mansions anymore.

If these buildings are ugly because we're cheaping out on them then we should at least acknowledge the fact and have an honest conversation about it.

But actually they tend to be just as expensive as beautiful buildings.
