Yes, I like those old styles too, with all the care and detail that was put into them. I'm not opposed to modern architecture, though I don't see much that I like, tbh.
I think the Brutalist style would've been ok if there were just 3 good examples of it on the whole planet. The same with the Glass Box - a handful of good-quality examples would've been sufficient, but instead we have them like a plague in every city, and more often than not "the cladding looks cheap." After all, if the cladding is all we have to look at, let's make it decent!
EDIT: Not sure where the Melbourne building is, but it doesn't look very interesting to me; carparks, fences, and some office buildings behind.
