The War on Architecture and Aesthetic Beauty in the Modern Era

Take the Aesthetic Pill! Has anyone else notice that buildings look like pure utter crap in modern times and they look so gloomy and depressing? Has anyone noticed how our culture is the same way? If we are constantly surrounded by depressing, dark emptiness then we are going to reflect that as a society. I think we should strive to have better architecture like what we see in old cities around the world. If we surround ourselves with beauty and positive architecture then we are going to be happier. I think the same goes for cars as well.
