As a lot of other forumers have said, on an individual case it depends a lot on the quality of the original design and construction, as well as necessary maintenance. High modernism is beautiful at its best, but there are plenty of mediocre specimens too. 50 years seems to be about right for an architectural style to become 'reappreciated' and potentially in need to preservation. An architecture professor once told me that every style becomes reviled by the time it hits 30. It seems about right; I can't think of anything I find uglier than a lot of 80s postmodernism.
