Why why why can’t more companies be like this?

I got this link via Astral Codex Ten, but LOOK at this:

Epic Systems, the leader in electronic medical records software, is one of the largest privately held tech companies in the U.S. … The company is based in the small town of Verona, Wisconsin, where its 1,670-acre campus is filled with sci-fi themed buildings.

Emerald City building with a yellow brick road! Castles! Palaces!

All sorts of companies AND TOWNS could build great buildings instead of boring or ugly buildings! Good for Epic Systems, that they boldly broke new ground and left boring architecture in their dust.

Here’s another link with more photos, on Twitter / X

For contrast, observe this post: Ten Best Modernist Buildings. Eight of them are boring and ugly! Only the Sydney Opera House and the Frank Lloyd Wright one are worth looking at! It’s BAFFLING how bad modern architecture is, it’s ASTOUNDING that anybody voluntarily builds anything in the Brutalist tradition, and can other companies PLEASE follow Epic Systems in doing fun and/or beautiful things with their buildings?
