The 'souless' thing is just classicist propaganda.

I felt like a badass walking around the Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, and I didn't even like modernism/brutalism back then. 'Modern buildings having no soul' is just a lie pushed on by the people who can't live without superficial ornaments. They certainly have souls, but different ones. Older buildings have elegance, but modern buildings have a strong, intelligent and reserved look.

The buildings with the least soul, IMO, are copy/plaste green glass condo towers seen everywhere in Vancouver and Toronto, as they weren't built with any feelings in mind. They are not boxes, but they are far from unique and they are neither elegant, nor smart looking. It's just living space for the sake of living space.
