  1. Do you have evidence that people generally hated their architecture in the past? Except for a few famous examples like the Eiffel Tower, I don't think it was common. Even in the case of the Eiffel Tower, it was quickly beloved and adopted by the peopoe. Moreover, there are many more buildings that look like the Portland building and some are still being constructed in the same style. And they still look ugly.

  4.  @TheLlaura90  Good execution? What? It looks cheap. Or maybe you mean it was on purpose for it to look bad.

  5.  @dreamingflurry2729  Gotham doesn't look like that at all. It's a city filled with neogothic and dark architecture.

  6. Okay, I ain't a fan of the building but to say the renovated one is vastly different than the original is a stretch. Not that I'm sad about it being delisted.

  7. Also, if such a conservative restoration is already too much for some, let's just totally redesign it with new tiles etc. I feel like there's potential under all that stucco.

  8. 'Inexpensive materials'. Well, it does look cheap.

  9. And that's why I feel frustrated with the architecture elite. None of them cares about the public or beauty. Variety isn't the problem, variety in ugliness is.
