If they could build beautifully detailed buildings 100 years ago, we sure as hell could do that again. Our cities deserve better than the architecture that has dominated america and the world since after ww2. Sure you can choose some amazing projects, but 98 percent of the shit built today is boring, non descript, and lacks any sense of character.
