Read Tom Wolfe’s From Bauhaus to Our House. It’s the best indictment of postwar architecture ever put to paper.
Bolshevists in most cases almost exclusively of a certain religion/ ethnicity were at the heart of subverting classical art in Germany and Europe as a whole.

People like to distinguish themselves.
Everything you listed is easy to change.

I was thinking about this very question while in Chicago. When's the last time we built anything as ornate and expressive as the Wrigley Building or the Tribune Building?
All of the high rises under construction look the same. Just boring blocks that will eventually have glass all over them. I'm sure the views out of those rooms will be glorious, but our sense of art has certainly diminished.

I'm wondering the same thing about why are so many home builders going with the white/black exterior color schemes.

I guess. WWII was a long time ago. Go back another 85 years prior to WWII and compare that to WWII. I’m guessing even more difference.

Differences in style, but not in redeeming value. They’re not a soul sucking pieces of disposable garbage, and we know who they were. They lived here.

There is a whole conspiracy theory concerning this. People are very serious about Tartaria these days.

I was referring to fashion mainly. But if you want to speak architecture, there are a few examples I could point to in the positive direction. Some of the NFL/MLB stadiums built in the last 20 years have been damn impressive.

Commercial architects seem determined to use as many exterior materials (and colors) as possible on the facade design. Metal panel. Brick. Precast. glass. terra cotta. all in the same job. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Old buildings were designed with more detail to seal the windows. Now caulk has made that pointless.

buildings are designed to be water and airtight. I think older buildings assumed leaks and designed accordingly to get the water out of the cavity

Correct. No engineer/architect worth a damn is designing buildings that rely on caulk to prevent water penetration.
