Art is very subjective and subject to social norms, ultimately. These things come and go. Certain classical music and composers at the time were considered un godly. At various points in history, certain architectural styles are seen as acceptable or unacceptable.
In the next 30 years, we'll have various norms. In 2051 when a new proposal comes in, somebody who is 26 today (56 then) will complain how we aren't designing to some acceptable 2030 design standard that everyone sees as ubiquitous and totally normal.
Obviously the design is subjective and some might think its fine while others don't. Humans love to long for the past and certain feelings associated with them. There's a reason why some people might love completely gaudy or crap designs (or art, music, etc). It has more to do with the feeling for them. Someone growing up with all the modern homes in Chicago today might lament them being torn down in 60 years not because it has to do with the actual design but because of the feelings associated with it (childhood, growing up, various specific events, etc)
