"Ugly buildings = unhappy people." - yes, but rich owners. All that matters now is the profit, the ROI, the money.Beautiful buildings are, relatively, expensive to design, build and. maintain - people being the main expense.So it's cheaper to use an 'off the peg' design with as few frills as possible - then watch the cash flow in, probably to some off-shore company run by the likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg & co who will never even see the building, sorry the 'asset'.Hopefully, this brand of capitalism will burn itself out very soon.........
