2. Should architects design buildings to be practical rather than beautiful?
I really don't see why architects should make a choice there . It should be their job, their responsibility to achieve both: new buildings should definitely be both, pleasing to the eye and practical for the people who will live or work inside.
Why are there so many tall buildings in so many places?
Well, high-rises and skyscraper's can be found in cities where space is limited and therefore expensive. Building high saves space, because many families can rent apartments on top of each other. And it is the same with companies.Chinese cities are too populated for everyone to have a private house with a garden. My foreign teacher told me that things were very different in Australia, because they actually have space in the suburbs to allocate private lots(=space) to families, so they hardly ever build skyscrapers.
