I think the current era of featureless glass towers and shitty oil-derived five-over-one condo blocks are a blight on the eyes. While I prefer neoclassical and Gothic and romantic and other ostentatious ornate architectural styles for the depth of detail and the opportunities for symbolic art and pleasing visuals, Soviet brutalist buildings are also quite beautiful when integrated with the environment. Like yeah, they're ugly when shot on a cloudy day in winter but they're spectacular when surrounded by greenery and maintained.
