>Which books have you read?
De architectura
Ornament and Crime
And many others on aesthetics, mostly greeks

>What is you conclusion?
That contemporary architects don't understand their job as shapers of our public space, and are often malicious in their intents.

>What are your examples of good contemporary architecture?
While I generally dislike our contemporary styles in Sweden, I think there are good examples. One good example is pic related in Norway, Oslo. A new area they are building for office spaces. I think this is quite hard to pull off though and most architects fail dreadfully. One quote I like that is often used is "modern architecture fits very well amongst other buildings, but looks ugly amongst other modern buildings". I believe that is true
