On: Why people hate contemporary architecture (2017)

I think this is reasoning does not work on this case.

Take Le Corbusier, the "Cité Radieuse" in Marseille is actively maintained and considered with an almost sacred status by the partisans of this kind of design.

This is a fucking ugly building that should have been destroyed decades ago, in my opinion, but I have a very strong bias against anything related to this style of design.

Alexandra Road or Barbican Estate are pretty brutal in their brutalism, but Cité radieuse is just a very nice apartment building. Pretty upscale too.
