Funny how tastes differ. I certainly wouldn’t disagree that the US has great architecture (such a rich, diverse, and big place is practically guaranteed to have that), though the examples you picked seem like the blandest bombast ever to me. All interesting and even fascinating buildings, certainly, though not something I find aesthetically pleasing.
