Wake up!
Its not the age for classicism necessarily its scale/proportion/detail and execution. Thats why I believe its possible to create new buildings that are well done in a classical style. It does happen. You are correct, there are more old examples, simply a math issue though.
Same formula for modern or contemporary architecture: scale/proportion/detail and execution. There are lots of great, I say contemporary, meaning modern day.
Brutalist like above, for me, doesnt follow this formula, but is more akin to what an abstract painter might do. It doesnt create the love and admiration that other styles might. Sure they will have their quarky fans, thats fine, the good thing is that we dont have entire cities built that way. Small doses are key.
