Modern architecture is done with Computer Aided Design. Computers are great for angles more than for curves. I postulate that architects who use CAD to design buildings are not as good at architecture that is drawn with pencil.
As far as government buildings, everyone knows that designs are chosen based on factors not necessarily including architectural skill. Such factors would include things like family relationships, political contributions, favors granted or owed, and some others that have nothing whatsoever to do with ability.

I’ve certainly seen highway “on/off” ramps and overpasses that were designed by idiots with computers.
