My only concern with modern architecture is the deconstructionist look. I believe that is what it is called. Where someone will place exposed beams on the front of a store and call it an entrance way. I think it looks cool now but in 5 years it will look really dated. We will just look at the steel girders and wires and ask if the developer ran out of money? I know nothing about architecture, all I know is I love walking in downtown Victoria, Montreal or even Toronto alot better than Calgary. I prefer brick and stone to Glass and steel. That being said glass and steel can look great as long as there is plenty of angles and asymmetry to the design. I hate boxes.
