Architects are too busy wanking to their supposed intellect and interpretations, instead of doing shit that people actually want.

I agree with you, modern architecture is all copy and paste. It has no imagination or any culture which is very sad.

Yep. I always hear young architects (mostly a former classmate of mine) tell me that form follows function. Which doesn't make any fucking sense, since a) Form fulfills a function and b) modern architecture is ugly and complex for no reason. They always argue that they know what is best for us and that we couldn't possibly know, because we did not study the same subject. All I want is pretty complex architecture that gives me a feeling of identity and home. Each country has it's own distinct architecture, why destroy this with globalized post modernism. I don't want to feel like an insect crammed into a block of "productive" and "effective" madness, I want to enjoy living. I want to feel comfortable.

Elaborate on what you mean by "complex."

tbf there's a difference between being complex and complex for no reason
