'Facts are stubborn things;...'
The science of government it is my duty to study, more than all other sciences; the arts of legislation and administration and negotiation ought to take the place of, indeed exclude, in a manner, all other arts. I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain. John Adams, Letters of John Adams, Addressed to His Wife

1. Too flat.The flatness and lack of depth found on modern buildings prevents surfaces that light and shadows can play on. 2. Too plain. A lack of ornamentation leads to boring buildings. Even everyday buildings should incorporate intricate designs. 3. Too straight. Straight lines at scale create repetitive horizontality, at odds with nature, where nothing has straight lines or right angles. 4. Too shiny. Smooth, flat materials like metal and glass become desensitising when used too densely, providing nothing for our senses to latch on to. 5. Too monotonous. Modern buildings that take the form of rectangles made up of smaller rectangles appear both monotonous at a distance and closer up. 6. Too anonymous. Buildings with no sense of personality or place. A far cry from buildings that used to tell a story and celebrate their surroundings. 7. Too serious. Buildings that are too intimidating, evoking negative emotions.
