People need to lighten up. lol. Anyone criticizing Bourdain for his comments on architecture is missing the point entirely.
Again, missing the point. The show is about simple sensations and experiences, it's not supposed to be the Fifth Estate. BTW, Bourdain fully admits to milking the celebrity chef thing for all it's worth.

Buildings looking the same don't make a city boring. You could have a thousand buildings being identical in the same area, and as long as they follow some basic urban design principles it could still make an exciting, vibrant city. Not everybody obsesses about architecture the way people on Urban Toronto do.
