But they aren’t wrong either. Some places with these type of buildings have been build wrong. Like in the Netherlands in the 60’s they build an entire new neighborhood that had only these mega modernists apartment buildings that followed Le Corbusier futuristic vision. And nobody wanted to live there, because other neighborhoods with history were much more pleasant to live in. So eventually only the poor and desperate moved into the neighborhood. And the neighborhood turned into a rundown ghetto. Today almost every one of those 1960’s apartment buildings in that neighborhood has been torn down. Was much cheaper to rebuild from the ground up than to renovate. Same is true in many suburbs of Paris.
thay may very well be true, but that is not problem of the houses. architecture is not responsible for solving issues in the society. if you devastate your neighborhood, it is your fault, not the architect’s.
