Here's a CNN article, "New Buildings Set To Shape 2021": https://edition.cnn.com/style/articl...021/index.html

If your taste in buildings resembles mine in any way, be ready for some visually disappointing projects for the brave new 2021. Of the eight featured designs, there were only a couple I liked. My fave:



A little imagination and colour adds interest to a building that still fits in well with the conventional building, bottom left.

Design fails imo:-



A building so drab and utilitarian that it it resembles an electrical substation, barely distinguishable from the streetlighting poles in front of it. Tacking on a gimmick that looks as grossly out of place as a goitre does nothing to redeem it.



Great - if you want buildings that look like they were designed 50 years ago, when stuff like this was a little more cutting edge.
