"Precisely?"

Forager 23 very kindly responds to my question but I am still confused about what exactly he doesn't like about "modernism."

I happen to agree with him as to the specific images he shows. But I am wondering how he would verbalize his preferences so an architect could design something he likes i.e. what would the zoning/building codes say to give form to a building which meets his preferences (and mine as well, I should add). I suggest that something as broad as "Avoid first principles" will not do the job.
