The one with tattoos, might not be bad person, the one with no tattoos might not be good person.
We should not judge people by their appearance. Same goes to architecture. Architecture is more about spaces and user experience. A good planned and arranged space with proper ventilation and building cover is a good architecture. While, the building with lots of colour and detailing, but the space are not properly arrange for me still consider as an architecture that could be improve.
The architecture nowadays, are no longer need lots of ornaments as detailing. As modern people start to admire plain and simple form. Ornaments give us the sense of degeneration. I really appreciate the ornaments done by old people, but time changes, ornaments for the age now is a waste of time, energy and materials. Time is precious for modern people, they would like to have a rest , have their own time to enjoy the life instead of keep working on the ornaments details. Also, they might not feel the things full with details will catch their eyes, instead some of them might feel it is dazzling. Moreover, material we have now are getting lesser, we have to make full use of the material.
But, the statement not saying that ornaments is not good and have to be totally omitted.
With a good reason or intention, ornaments are still able to apply. In my opinion, some religious building still need some ornaments as it is a symbolization, significance and respect towards them. We could express ornamentation in modern way. From the picture below could see that modern ornaments is more simple compare with the old times.
In a nutshell, if ornaments use in a improper way, it is a crime. While if using in a proper way, it is aesthetic.
