"All that you are attached to, think is beautiful, and love, is entirely subjective and arbitrary and could be anything else. Therefore, you need to listen to only us, the Experts, about what is good, right, and just. No you may not see our methods." - t. contemporary architect

I'm not talking classical as in some elaborate baroque palace. I mean classical as in the following:

Besides, don't you think it'll be easier to get the general public on-board with lots of new housing if it looks like the building on the left, instead of the one on the right?

Yes, people who genuinely have few options will be thankful for what they are given. But it's not as though classically designed buildings are more expensive or difficult to build than Modernist. Why settle for a building that is popular only for its function, not its style?

Yeah, I don't care so much if architects want to have their preferred styles that I don't like - the issue is with the bottleneck in schools and prof. organizations. One is required to pass through these gates to be an accredited architect, and classicism is strongly excluded.

Secondly, who says these buildings are "physical expressions" of the future? Their materials may be "modern", but there's nothing inherently belonging to the future in their design. And even if this were true, it doesn't follow that it looks good.

A study about how the preferences of users really does differ on average from the prefs of most building users: Tho I will note that it's a little one-sided that I need to cite sources, but you can just dismiss ppl as "terrified" if they don't like it

It's understandable that you don't know these things, fascist design is a minor footnote in architecture school.

No, they're just buildings that grate on the eyes of most ppl. Presenting some piece of design, and claiming that people who don't like it are "terrified", is a cheap rhetorical trick that doesn't work anymore. It's like saying "if you disagree, you're just being defensive."

It could, sure. But that's true of any design rules about anything. The problem is that architecture schools and associations object strongly to design rules imposed by clients, and then turn around and strictly reject classicism inside their own organizations

Yes, I think that's often the case. I think architects need to pick one: 1. Say that taste is subjective, and that it's therefore okay to disagree with the experts OR 2. Say it's objective, and then stop defending their buildings by saying "well, it's beautiful to us!"

Right, this is the "because this can be done badly, it must be abolished" argument. Very popular right now!

sure, but one cannot build a city out of 'uniqueness' alone. if that's what architects chase, you will get a lot of grey glass office towers and aluminum-sided condos for every Space Needle. a lot of cities lost their Union Stations. it might be more precious than you think.

Funny enough, I lived in Seattle for a while, my favourite building was Union Station. You can also ask about which building or street in their neighbourhood specifically they think is most beautiful - for me it was the Wallingford Center. Ask around. You might be surprised.

I suggest asking people you know what they think the most beautiful building in your city is, and the home that they'd most like to own. I think you'll find that it's virtually all things built before 1960.

I mean, rediscover ornament and detail in the larger architectural world, not just as a government policy. Modernist architecture is a niche taste, like noise metal music, or abstract impressionism. However, people who like it are often under the impression that everyone does.

Well, the form that "trying new things" has taken for most of the past 60 years has largely delivered buildings that people do not care about, and do not like. Perhaps it is time for architecture to rediscover ornamentation and human-scaled detail.
