as an architect, i have to say that i disagree with your post completely.
how many 'anarchy' buildings are being built in your city right now?...what percentage does that represent?
frank gehry type buildings do not represent that vast majority of modern architecture.
of the architectural history that has been disregarded in your opinion, what precisely do you want returned?....sculptural cornices?....corinthian columns?....
historic buildings looked like they did for a reason....do you want cars to look like the model T?...do you want paintings to look like the mona lisa?...why do you want architecture to look like a greek temple?
we dont make buildings by piling rocks on top of one another anymore....there is no reason that buildings should pretend they do.
edit: i should have just said refer to this thread...lots of good posts made.
