> Is there an objective beauty in Architecture? One true form and style and decoration that we all should be conforming to?

I take this to mean design in the classical greek sense as espoused by Vivitius {0} and his series, 10 Books on Architecture {1].
Vivitius is cited with coining the phrase, 'firmitas, utilitas, venustas' which roughly translated, means designing something that has a balance of durablity, functionality and aesetics. The correct balance of the three is the essence of good design of good design for most things.
