The examples of unornamented buildings in the article are actually highly ornamented, but just more subtly.
In the UK at least, many buildings have zero ornamentation, and are just plain brickwork, without even window ledges etc, and these look terrible to me.

- JR1427 3y agoI lived near Grenfell, and tragically watched it burn from my flat. The facelift they gave it was awful, and I would personally not call it ornamentation. Lots of modern architecture seems to try and create the illusion/impression of ornamentation, without going to the trouble of actually ornamenting.
