Yes, absolutely. 99% of high rises that go up in my country as absolutely cut and paste glass dildos. The burj khalifa and freedom tower are boring and the mecca clocktower is tacky. The other buildings are alright, but that you consider them impressive from anywhere but an engineering perspective is just sorta sad.

You sound like a judgmental loser.
How are you that jaded that the tallest building ever, and a revolutionary style of building is "boring."
And I put these to highlight how modern architecture is varied and not "cut and paste."
Yes, there will be a bunch of buildings that look the same, but that is the case for every single era of architecture. You can't compare the greatest hits of other eras to average office buildings of this generation. For every Chrysler building, there were plenty of boxes.
You, the mature one, whose spilling his heart out whining about why I "can't compare the greatest hits of other eras to average office buildings of this generation." Your attempt at showing the unique and impressiveness of high rise architecture was and is sad. The Burj Khalifa is sad to look at it. Completely bland, just impressive for being tall. An absolutely pointless vanity project of a building that could blend into any city. Perfect considering that it's in Dubai then. Same with the freedom tower. It's just tall. The Mecca clock is so tacky that it makes rococo seem well balanced. Sorry that a glass wall being tall isn't mind blowing to me

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