    Yeah, but if they survive another few decades after that without being torn down / remodeled, they graduate to historic and become cool again.

    Maybe, maybe not. The TWA terminal at JFK - and exemplar or mid-60s modernism - is an eyesore.

    And Brutalism, to many, was always an eyesore.

      What? Why? I’ve never been there in person, but I’m looking at pictures of it and I like it.

      (I will admit it doesn’t look very ADA-compliant, though.)

      The Futurist one designed by Eero Saarinen? That has certainly survived the test of time.
