In the right co text modern architecture can be cool but I think way to many architects are focused on being avantgaurd instead of building livable spaces.
Livable spaces can be modern or traditional, the the entire design world needs to get back to designing buildings to be pleasant and useful and contextual not as a way of showing off how fucking original you are.

"Modern" is a very distinct era covering the latter part of the 20th century and is widely regarded as shit with a few notable exceptions.
This is contemporary at best.
A bit of advice "bro", if you're going to assume a superior tone with others it helps greatly to actually know what you're talking about.

We have entered an era where our skyscraper building technology grants us formidable ability, but in the hands of Muslims and Asians it has become an affront to the rest of the world.
They continually build supertall (300m+) skyscrapers throughout the Middle East and China, all the while using slave labor and substandard materials, in order to give the impression that they're not just civilized, but actually more advanced than their western rivals. It's a joke when you see the gaudy pieces of garbage going up in Dubai and elsewhere. Every time another one bursts into flames, I feel genuinely amused.
Pic related, the tallest building in the world is going up in Jeddah. Known as "Kingdom Tower" it will stand at over 1000m. This thing is going, in the most literal sense of the word, into a field of sand dunes surrounded by mud brick houses. It's totally obnoxious, but the Arabs will run around thinking they're gods because they built it.
Chinese and Middle eastern cities will never be able to express the maturity of western cities. That juxtaposition of new and old, skyscrapers of decades past nestled amongst one another.
If you want the absolute most offensive disgusting, piece of shit, anti-/pol/ building in existence, look up the 1900 foot Makkah clock tower.
Fuck that thing.

Modern architecture is hideous and garish but it doesn't hold a candle to 1970s brutalism.
Behold, Robarts Library at U of T, finished in 1973.
Toronto in general is fucking hideous because most if its growth occurred in the 70s when brutalism was IN.

Arabs dont have the brains to build supertall buildings so they employ english and American firms to build it, so most of what you see in the middle east are actually the prpduct of the wests architectural institutions.

The Saudis demolished a UNESCO world heritage site to build that clock tower hotel. It was a medieval Ottoman fortress overlooking the mosque and protecting the town.
Western designs, engineers, and probably materials. Slave labor from India, Pakistan, and lesser Arab nations.
Either of you been to Shanghai? It's the same there. You'll see a skyscraper construction site. They literally bus in peasants from the countryside at around 6am to start working. Brute force labor. We were having renovations done to our office (Huganpu district where the old art-deco buildings from British control were built). The "Electrician" was putting in uncapped wires. I brought it up and we had to pay quite a lot of money to get a proper electrician to rewire the renovated part of the office.

So much of this modern architecture looks to me like a literal pile of garbage after an actual building was demolished. (ie >>71439905)
I suppose that's what happens when architects become self obsessed cunts who call themselves artists and value form over function.
>>71439069
It's really hard to fix roads up here, the winters pretty much fuck up the roads completely and the short summer is spent doing as many repairs as you can before winter comes again except they never get them all and it's mostly quick patching jobs.
Also Canadians are assholes, we all complain when the roads are closed for repairs and we all complain when they aren't fixed. We are never satisfied with anything.
The only good architecture is Classical Greco-Roman Fascii architecture.
