The architecture is a big reason people take vacations in cities like Prague or Barcelona. It makes people feel good. Mainstream modern architecture is boxy (because of the next point), "efficient" (measured in cost to produce, mostly) and not even remotely built to last. It has no character, and doesn't consider the emotional value of living in a unique space.
