Conservative slum romance: 1/ It is fashionable for conservatives to favour “nurture” over nature when it comes to modernist towerblocks, which are held to be causative of social decay. The ugliness rots the soul of the prole.
4/ And the slums were full of viciousness as much as the new modernist estates. The “solidarity” of the slum is romanticised. Indoor flush toilets in a modernist towerblock were a boon and improvement.

5/ Conclusion: Modernist architecture is often ugly (it is sublime, not beautiful), but it does not form character as much as people suppose. Conservatives who say it does abandon the will or biology to make this analysis. They become utopians of “tradition”.
