Wow, okay... Well, before this whole thing turns into an illogical progression of unsubstantiated claims that hinge on a circular argument of personal bias rather than any kind of objective analysis of Modern Architecture, it seems as though you missed the very basic point of contention many Modernists (or whomever) have with current revivalist buildings. Simply, the tendency of MOST revivalist buildings is a general lack of craftsmanship, material quality, and detail. That is, apart from any idealogical dispute concerning styles of antiquity or reproduction in a general sense, a vast amount of buildings that are designed out of historic reverence are just poorly done. It has nothing to do with construction methods. It is an issue of quality. Who gives a shit how it's built. What's being criticized is what is built.

Also, irregardless is not a word.

Nothing further.
