There is way too much "bad" architecture here (in the west in general I would say, but possibly globally) which is actually making people sicker than they need to be. Even the Chinese though, with their notion of "chi"or "ki" and feng shui (energy flow) set a bad example in too many ugly concrete boxes. Bad architecture depletes energy and fails to stimulate creativity. This is not about accounting for taste, although national variations will always exist, owing to climate and different karmic national missions. There are just certain harmonic laws that work for the human race and some that are disharmonic.
