It’s not just government forcing these monstrosities on us. Nice hold homes in our neighborhood are being torn down and replaced with really ugly “modern” architecture homes. One parcel of two or three acres got a modern architecture compound built on it — it looks like San Quentin Prison in the suburbs. All it’s missing is some guard towers.

Question: Why is a school of architecture from 100 years ago called “modern”?

Because nothing new has happened in architecture in the last 100 years or so.

The ugliness, brutality, and emptiness are a reflection of the moral relativism that dominates the “Arts”.

It was named that at the time. Just like one of the better New Haven Apizza Parlours is called "Modern Apizza" (founded 1939). The theological heresy "modernism" is also about over 100 years old.
