"Mostly it is the work of engineers and contractors who (...) have no education in aesthetics." I consider that to be, often enough, a positive thing.

- mc32 11y agoYes, that's true. Overemphasis on aesthetics above functionality tends to result in buildings with quirky problems (the recently new mit buildings) and can stick out like an eyesore once the avant guarde aesthetic falls by the wayside, but I think here they have a point in that many times contractors and other builders go for mass production and so don't often optimize for recyclability or energy usage, etc.
