As a victim, I found it fascinating how many architecture students who loved classical aesthetics become thoroughly brainwashed into modern aesthetics at architecture school. In no small response to fact that architects generally has to work with the dominant building systems of the era. One learns to love and celebrate modernity through stockholm syndromne. As others have mentioned, ornamentation will come back once it can be done cheaply at scale, labour for such things are cost prohibitive unless you have a pool of underclass or willing to wait decades. It's why modern architecture focus on structural details, the kind of component assembling with very little "craft" but still expresses craftsmanship and a builders expertise. As for vegetation, especially indoors. I dig it, but Changi Airport is a Singapore's jewel for a reason. It's the product of excess. Also at least from my understanding, the planting component of many projects fail hard.
