personally i dont believe modern architecture is disconnected from people at all, while older architecture may be built to human scale i see modern architecture as a mirror on the human mind and personality and emotions,a mis-shapen,misunderstood and abstract part of human beings that is rarely explored. works like Ghery's for example can be argued to relate to people on a very personal and emotional level only to be seen,understood and interpreted differently by all who come in contact with it.
