I think it's worthwhile to talk about. The differences are important and they reflect the different socio-political values, which is something that a lot of people fail to take into consideration when talking about buildings. Buildings help create culture, so what values we instill in our buildings is important. I'm completely against starchitecture not only because I disagree with individualism, but also because I disagree with globalization (as it's currently manifested) and colonialism. I believe that less is more and I wouldn't wear over-the-top clothing or drive an over-the-top automobile, so I don't want over-the-top buildings. It's not blandness, it's refinement and moderation.
