>How come the further we go forward the far worse our aesthetics become?
In 2007, for the first time, the majority of the human race lived in urban areas; in the American South, it took until the 1960s for the majority of the population to live in urban areas, and even Britain, the first to urbanize, only passed majority-urban ~1850. We've gone from a billion people mostly living in the countryside to 8 billion mostly living in cities, so we've been on a hardcore "build shit" drive, and aesthetics quickly started to come second, which in turn led to the loss of institutional knowledge of how to make pretty things.
