Modernism is good (normal).
Modernism is terrible (normal).
Those houses are an utter pain to maintain and all that glass is an absolute energy sink. It's why all these modern glass buildings that want to be energy efficient have to include expensive active systems that require heavy maintainance. Of course a modernist house is also often uncomfortable to live in, all those straight lines and flat surfaces require everything to be in place and ordered. You have to adopt a certain way of living in them-- which you'll note was the precise goal of several modernists' ideas on housing (most notably and wretchedly Le Corbusier).
