In the deep south, many beautiful old courthouses were torn down and replaced with monstrosities. What a shame.

When graduate school a professor said: Institutions need buildings, but architects want monuments . There is the crux of the problem.

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.

But it is way cheaper to build. Slab concrete sides with no detail = less cost.
When we built our house a few years back we went overboard with cove moldings, cherry rails etc. Paneled ceilings etc.
Probably $75k in additional cost but worth it.

Check out the 2018 built US District courthouse in Mobile Alabama.
Thats the way a courthouse is supposed to look.
