Yeah, when I was working in Boston my company once moved from an early-20th-century masonry building to a late-20th-century glass box, and in terms of office quality-of-life it was a colossal upgrade: more light, the space was more open, the temperature was more comfortable, etc. No way would I go back. I do sympathize with all the griping about contemporary architecture (especially as a former Boston resident, where the local city offices are an architectural crime against humanity), but buildings need to be lived and worked in, not just admired from the outside for nostalgia's sake.
