Color schemes are also really important. There's a lot of beige, gray, and black formats in newer buildings. Kinda drab. A little green or teal or yellow or something would be nice.

In my opinion, building colors and materials should complement the environment around the building. Climate, weather, landscape, and the buildings already built around it should be a factor in any building's design. Blue and lots of glass look great in Miami, but not in England, New York City, or Shanghai. The more congested cities become, the less colorful and bright they should look. It looks more natural that way.
