For those of you inclined to disagree with the idea of learning to love obviously ugly buildings, I would like to recommend two books: http://www.amazon.com/The-Geography-Nowhere-Americas-Landscape/dp/0671888250 http://www.amazon.com/The-Geography-Nowhere-Americas-Landsca... http://www.amazon.com/Bauhaus-Our-House-Tom-Wolfe/dp/0312429142/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1454427093&sr=1-1&keywords=from+bauhaus+to+our+house http://www.amazon.com/Bauhaus-Our-House-Tom-Wolfe/dp/0312429... Kunstler is a bit of a crank, but his analysis of the problems with modern architecture and urbanism are very good. Wolfe, of course, is a genius, and his very short book is a fantastic and deeply funny (if depressing) read.
