This is "good architecture" the way mass produced wall art sold at Home Sense is "good art".

Continue your parallel though, and you suggest that architects ought to be focused producing for the elite and wealthy rather than for the masses.
I cant speak for ac3r, but to me that statement itself seems to be as vain as the judgement you are casting on ac3r. Foe me, many of these new buildings look good and I appreciate that they are functional too (but I am no expert by any means). But I don't disagree with him that it would be nice to have some class leading distinction in our region. I am certainly not an elitist at all....
