In big cities, people like the sweeping views. I can't say it's possible to reverse this trend because it's so desirable for occupants unless cities establish design guidelines.

What will be the future of design is exploring more possibilities for glass curtain wall construction like altering shapes and projections instead of so many flat facades. It's already being done but perceived as expensive.

As for the name of these designs, the real estate market calls these all glass towers "modern" and much of the stuff pre-2002 "postmodern"
