I agree with this proposal but not all modern architecture is ugly.

Some modern architecture looks nice and inviting - windows that let in a lot of natural light and an interesting use of geometric shapes. But some of it is ugly and does not seem accommodating to the people who will use the building. I also think it is pointless to make a modern building that looks like an ancient Greek temple. I guess I don’t like either extreme.

Considering what that houses, the architecture is fitting.

That building, the Guggenheim, is not only hideous, its interior is vertigo-inducing as you walk the tilted corridors, and the curves were made without benefit of modern computer imaging and have gross imperfections. It is a blot on the landscape outside as well.

That looks like a kitchen appliance.
