Well you are not alone in your views. I could say that you are in the
company of Prince Charles but I'm not that cruel. ;-)
This is a difficult subject to be objective about.
I saw many examples of attractive buildings in the link you posted. But
then I was brought up in Glasgow, a very industrial city in my youth. I
see beauty in lots of industrial settings. I even found the Oil Rigs I
worked on had a strange beauty. The juxtaposition of wind farms against
the beauty of nature is something I find attractive to look at. Even
though I wouldn't want to live there.
I wonder, do you like the music of Bach?

I do think that most modern housing is an eyesore.

It knocks the Glasgow palace of art into a cocked hat.

Some of those buildings were just horrible, others were better. My
dislike of modern architecture is probably not going to stop me from
rendering such things in the future, though. I might have already...

Yeah. There's this old cement plant nearby, totally industrial. Ugly
stuff, though strangely captivating. A blast to explore simply for its
nightmarish aspect (and the dizzying heights).

Somewhat.

Especially when the same design is copied over and over, in a big row :(

Excellent viewpoint, Jim! Very moody.
Attached is an example of the ceiling tiles macro (with added lights). The
design was created in Illustrator and beveled with POV. There's probably a good
scene here somewhere...

I've heard that architects are extremely busy, working long hours. I guess
they don't have time to be creative with all these scyscrapers you need to
be more mathematical than creative...

Lol! Ha... ah, ugh... no. I really for sorry for them :(
I love math, geometry, funny numbers. But set me to work before a large
monolith, and everything great about it becomes nonsense after awhile.
It's easy to forget /why/ you started something, when the end of it
can't be seen, when the reason behind it is dust in contrast against
what's really important.
I guess that's why I don't finish so many projects...
