Also since the late 2000, regular architect do a real good job designing "classic" mid-rise buildings with terrace and enough light in all apartments that : - Are well insulated, - Are nice to live in, - Take into account orientation (sun and stuff), - Are a lot better looking than the previous mid-rise buildings, with maybe the exception of old 19th century construction (this is a taste thing, i personnally dislike Haussman and Victorian style, but i like Le Baron Jenney). Which make "great" architects designs worse i think (by comparison).
