I'm not sure there's such a thing as looking at a building objectively. The point of urban planning is to build cities that support the best quality of life possible for residents. Different qualities are important to different people. Some people will even tell you, to take one example, that they'd rather make far less income if it means that they can live a more culturally fulfilling life. And people do this. This is no less valid a life goal than making tons of money, and from an environmental perspective it may even be preferable.
