Really nice way to put it. As an architect by training, I absolutely get what you’re saying, and I think that this shift of though (making nice instead of cool buildings) is happening at a generational level. Maybe architects are now « bored » of « cool » buildings. Personally, I think the « wow effect » achieved in a cool building doesn’t last long. Once it’s over, your cool building tends to be forgotten if it wasn’t the first of its kind. I think nice buildings are timeless. To go further, I’d say when you make a cool building - in the sense of making it surprising, giving it the « wow effect » talked about earlier - it often comes to the price of great efforts, which often means a waste of material. So I’d say making something nice with an economy of means and timelessness is pretty hard, probably even harder than making something cool. Since 3D is a pretty new form of art, I think we’re still in the « cool » era, and I’m wondering what an economic and timeless render will look like, but I think we’ll figure it ou pretty soon! Anyway sorry for this architecture geek stuff! Thanks for the nice read and have great day!

As an industrial designer, I think you really hit the spot. by the way, your livestream was nice.... and wonderful xD.
What about "Neat"?
Would neat fall like half-way on the spectrum between cool and neutral?
Or it could be mysterious third thing?
