The problem is we haven't evolved...
Modern architecture has marched and evolved till done- the purity of a square, an empty, unadorned box. International style. Soviet style. Pre-packaged containers. Something messier and not necessarily new is going on- not linear. There are more diverse and personal influences and motivations impacting the built environment well beyond the modernist evolutionary track of western architectural history. Materials, new and old and technologies have opened engineering possibilities. its a cool time to build, or restore-rethink...And some motivated individuals are creating some fantastic homes, not to advance architectural history, but to live in.
