While reading, Tom Wolfe's "From Bauhaus to Our House" came to mind. That a concrete behemoth office building is reviled by most and a Victorian mansion is admired by more, is not merely a matter of taste. One is a horror and the other is a beauty. Not that the masses are the only test of beauty, of course; they can be wrong sometimes.
Well said
