    Chalk me up with the traditionalists. I find most of the modern buildings to be either boring or pretentious eyesores, especially those designed in the 1960s-70s.
    And when some Canadian railroad company builds a pseudo-gothic castle as hotel, that's not pretentious?

      If you've seen one canal-street lined with row-houses, you've seen them all.

        But at least Amsterdam is walkable, unlike the Highlands.

          Not as pretentious as building a big, jagged concrete eyesore and calling anyone who doesn't appreciate it unsophisticated.

            In all seriousness, though, I do like some modern architecture. For instance, I'm a fan of Hundertwasser's work. I just think that most of it walks a thin line between art and garbage, and all but the most talented of modern architects seem to be producing garbage trying to be art.
