I have long believed that humans have a built in instinct to help determine the structural "safety" of a building. Traditional buildings make sense because they 1) have a structure that our caveman brain can understand, and 2) have enough ornamentation to tell us this structure is loved and has been maintained. Modern buildings are usually ugly because they don't make structural sense. They're trying to shock us, when they should be trying to reassure us.
