The market, to a certain degree reflects the needs of the people as influenced by cultural standards. The current culture of consumerism dictates that cost and in turn, efficiency ( to save shekels so you can make mr. goldbergsteinovich's rent), at the behest of style and Aesthetic. It just shows what people see as important. The reason why everything looks like its made out of fuckin roblix is due to the post WW2 leftist cultural program of post modernism and highjacked capitalism. As picasso put it, art and in turn, culture is a weapon/tool to be used to influence the public. But what if you can make art and tradition profitable? The national socialists standard of aesthetic and beauty made them stand out as not only an economic force that made the bankers sweat, but also a force that salvaged European aesthetic and beauty to revitalize the soul of the volk.
Personally, I can appreciate modernist architecture to a certain extent, but brutalism and the bastardization of classic buildings makes me want to vomit.
