Seriously: your Stately Hames are an interesting example, I think. I don't for a moment accept that they jar with their environments, but in many cases that's because their environments have been remodelled to harmonise with them. Which is perhaps good for neither of our cases.

I'm not sure that the skyscrapers in Chicago (which are the best in the world) are really that jarring, are they? They're not really any more incongruous that Blenheim Palace, say? Apart from well worn stone cottages what does Europe really offer in terms of non-jarring architecture that America doesn't have?
