>There are timeless Brutalist, Modernist, Classical, and Contemporary buildings just like there are ugly, unremarkable, bad examples. The same is probably true of Facadism.
I think one of the original goals of facadism was to blend a new, contemporary building into its surroundings (which would be older historic buildings). As more facadism gets built, I think they stop blending in as much. Combine this with the likely phenomenon of developers pursuing a hot new trend and now suddenly all of these buildings stick out like a sore thumb.
