An abomination is when people plant palm trees in CA (unless they live in a desert oasis).
Especially in the valley or foothills around here!
First world problem, but still...

There are also some examples of great architecture in Tami’s city, fortunately there is a resurgence in contemporary and modernism styles in the west.
Some young and interesting architects making a difference http://www.battersbyhowat.com/#/work
And one of our own tribe a climber, extraordinary explorer and an amazing architect. Kevin Vallely. In 2009 Kevin,Ray Zahab and Richard Weber broke the world record for an unsupported trek from Hercules Inlet to the South Pole, a distance of 1,100km. He trained for this by running the Seymour Demenstration Forest 20Km with a rope tied around his waist dragging a car tire.

Abomination? Absolutely! A well designed house should sit gently on the land. It should work with it instead of against. Any good architect will study the site, the path of the sun in the various seasons, the flow of the prevailing winds, and the surrounding flora. The structure built will in harmony with all those element.
Of course, some folks get some money, buy blueprints from a catalog, and hire a builder to build a house - devoid of thought and taste - just like the owner.
