The question of why new buildings are all so terrible is in the air.
Is there something intrinsic about 5-over-1 design that makes them dreadful, or is it just that 5-over-1 is a cost-savings style and building that are optimized to reduce cost tend to not spend money on looking good?
Mostly the latter. Nothing special about the construction technique that wouldn't allow for more beautiful facades
