I also think that focusing on single buildings, like the author of the article mostly does, is not helping anyone. Exquisite building after exquisite building might end up creating a total non-sense, while on the other hand boring building after boring building can create a really nice and liveable thing. Back to the exquisite buildings, I'm now on the coast of South-Western Greece and I can see this first hand, as there are lots and lots of villas scattered around the hills here which villas, taken individually, have a decent enough modernist architectural style, but when you look at them as a whole is a cacophony pure and simple (ignoring the habitat destruction, that is). On the other hand the very boring buildings from the downtown small Greek town where I'm now staying have almost nothing going for them individually and from an architectural pov, if not for some details here and there, but taken together the discourse changes completely.
