I think contemporary architecture is perfect:

Cheap, soulless, forgettable, replaceable metal and glass rectangular prisms filled with cheap, soulless, forgettable, replaceable workers. Form follows function!

That old architecture implied things like spirit, transcendence, community, beauty. Outmoded concepts for sure!

I read the end of the first phrase as "Farm follows function!". Would not have been a bad typo.

I love that the site has a banner that says 'the future of architecture is human' and every photo on that page is of corporate soul destroying misery.
