I actually like those examples. During the lockdowns the Barbican was a nice area to walk through There are far worse buildings on the South bank of the Thames, I walk it a lot - the IBK building + ITV studios, the weird brutalist buildings near Blackfriars bridge are pretty ugly (the new '1 blackfriars' is built in the shape of a massive sarcophagus/ coffin from some angles). There's the weird concrete pub on the others side which is pretty ugly too.
