This has nothing to do with change, it has to do with how its changing. I don't want change if it means every building is going to look like a stack of dirty rags or gigantic bum's box shelter...
Some things look good, others don't. Some things Adrian posts look sweet (particularly the Japanesse architects and the last one he posted) others look like they will be complete eyesores.
Remember, at one point in time brutalism was considered change and look how most of that stuff turned out, there were a few stunning buildings and 99% were absolutely inhuman, ugly buildings. Besides, if I recall, when modernist architecture first came out it was widely accepted as cool, controversial, but had a majority of popularity with most of the public and that was the greatest architectural change ever. People only started hating modernism once the entire skylines of cities consisted of cold, inhuman boxes.
So if you think about it, if people don't like change, then why do architectural styles change? Because people do like change, a new style becomes popular when the old one gets boring. Whether or not the architectural styles Adrian likes ever become popular we cannot say, but I can say I hope most of them never do because that will be horrible. People like change, they just don't like ugly change...

, however, is decidedly unappealing. Until I see the floor plans of these apartments, I am going to contend that these buildings are aiming for avant garde in the most superficial of ways (they are composed of a bunch of random shapes and colors, but they still retain the basic high-rise archetype [at least from what I can see, more detailed plans could very well change my mind]), but they are falling very short. I know you didn't make any claims about them being avant garde or not; I'm just going off the name.
what firm is that?
