While for the most part I agree with you, I do think Calgary has recently turned the corner in terms of architectural quality. There are some really quality projects that have been built recently (eg, the Orange Lofts, the MTech building, various UofC buidings), or are on their way (eg Colours/Chocolate, Arriva towers, Centrium, the new Water Works building).
Yes, there are still lots of projects stuck in a bland stucco timewarp, but the days of all new Calgary works of architecture being called bland are behind us...or atleast on their way. This city is definitely starting to mature in this regard.
