Yes I suspect so. Deliberately ugly buildings are intended to demoralize people. Beautiful buildings don't require great aristocratic wealth to build and maintain, and in fact the cost of ugly modern architecture is often far greater than conventional construction due to material and design problems caused by the architect's 'novelty'. When large amounts of money and effort are put into designing something that turns out to be extremely ugly, it's fair to conclude that it was intended to be ugly.
