My attention was captured by an excellent column in today's Times by Roger Scruton on modern architecture, which I would've reposted from the website but for Rupert Murdoch's pay-wall. Luckily it's pretty much summed up in the video below, continuing in the first three minutes of 'Part Three'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAZDiKJIroU#t=7m14s
P.S.
Whilst I'm normally all for reasoned debate about most issues and can usually understand why other people hold their views, modern architecture is one of the exceptions. If you like 'daring', 'edgy' and 'futuristic' architecture then you're an idiot who serves only to destroy civilisation by encouraging architectural pygmies.
