I find the towers in a park type of neighborhoods detestable wherever I come across them. The space between the houses may look green and clean, but it's neither private nor public and nobody ever seems to enjoy it. Also, the reality is often closer to towers in a parking place...

The dream of starting fresh is perhaps one of the defining pillars of modernism. Software architecture and development contends with the same forces.

This was in fact the premise of Mr. X[1] (who certainly bears an uncanny resemblance to Corbu), so I think it'd be fair to say people have experienced large-scale urban modernism as 'nightmarish' for decades. Certainly Brasilia[2] comes to mind. I personally like modernist architecture, and find it comfortable, but grand plans to restructure cities have never been easy to make equally livable.

I simultaneously admire modernist architecture while desiring to never live or work in it. It's pretty to look at it, but it is literally and figuratively hollow.
