That is what I would want to add for "Bauhaus architecture". Living not far away I was actually in there once. I don't like the style, but at least there was a certain aestetic, and more important everything was practical both of which is not true of all for the modernist buildings.

WOW! That explains a lot. I "always" wondered (as much as as you do if you are a normal person with no connection to architecture) why we only see ugly buildings. I thought it was because of costs. Everyone was complaining about costs after all! And about energy efficiency etc. Then about 3 years ago I saw several independ videos/ TV docus saying this was not the case. The additional cost (for reasonable beauty) is often negligible compared to the cost of the whole building. e.g. in Germany there is a law for 5% "art in the building" for public buildings, that would cover much of it. So why do we still get so many ugly buildings? This video answers it. Because beauty is nearly nowhere teached. And what do you mean they don't learn how to sketch??
