Why Is Architecture So Ugly Now? - Sheehan Quirke
In this 20 November 2025 published Modern Wisdom video, host Chris Williamson talks with Sheehan Quirke, a British writer and online educator, known as The Cultural Tutor for creating accessible posts on art, history, and literature.
Why does modern life feel so devoid of beauty? For decades, efficiency has beaten out elegance. Cheap has replaced meaningful. When did we stop creating things built to last and meant to move us, and what would it take to return?
Expect to learn why contemplation is a luxury, or a necessity for sanity in the modern age, why we lost when architecture became more functional than beautiful, if there such a thing as objective beauty in architecture or if it’s purely cultural and subjective, which city or structure best captures the balance between progress and timelessness, if sterile architecture is one of the reasons the students of today are so bored and uninspired, and more.
