I have the same gripe. Cheapness with the excuse of being "modern." Strong Modern-style architecture requires a lot of subtlety that's rarely lived up to.
it seems that cheap materials and relatively expensive labor both contributed to an overall death of taste. not that everything should be a doric column as that would be bad taste too. it's only we have become creatively bankrupt for the conditions we are in.
Why is modern architecture like this

same answer as anything else, architecture is so close to capital that it can't help to be a reflection of it
