Yeah, but if they survive another few decades after that without being torn down / remodeled, they graduate to historic and become cool again.
The key is to not let the the public get a hold of them in that interim period when everybody thinks they suck (looking at you, brutalism).
Personally, I’m a fan of the style of the 1970s-1980s era metro stations in my city and (unlike the transit authority) don’t think they need to be renovated.
Maybe, maybe not. The TWA terminal at JFK - and exemplar or mid-60s modernism - is an eyesore.
And Brutalism, to many, was always an eyesore.
What? Why? I’ve never been there in person, but I’m looking at pictures of it and I like it.
(I will admit it doesn’t look very ADA-compliant, though.)
The Futurist one designed by Eero Saarinen? That has certainly survived the test of time.
