Paris - Ugly Apartment

Real or Imagined?
I stood staring for quite a while before I made up my mind.  Even after I discovered the truth, the effect is quite powerful.  This is exhibit one for my simple thesis that everything nice about Paris was created a couple hundred years ago.

Yeah, I agree that this is a good example. But maybe you can say the same thing about many college campus buildings. I think the SU buildings are ugly, esp ones put up in the 1950's. How can people not see ugliness when it's slapping them in their faces? New young architects have to have new styles, I suppose. But where's the charm? N'est-ce pas?
