I dunno... I'm an architecture student who's studied a LOT of modern arch theory & philosphy, and love it (modernism, modern regionalism, etc) and absolutely disdain any attempt to recreate historic architecture, particularly in the context of modern society & culture... yet I too love 'the classics' in their own context: (hopefully) well-preserved landmarks in our architectural heritage!
As far as liking the classic look; it's the architects who are in the minority (compared to their colleagues) - see the two names at the beg. of this post.
