I'm pretty sick of modernism, having grown up in a Canadian city that made heavy use of it in he 50-70s. There are some gems, but mostly it doesn't make for an appealing style when a lot of the office and apartment buildings bet heavily on it. Some of more luxury modernist homes and government buildings are exceptions, but you do have to have a sense of why they're neat, because they otherwise feel very conservative.
