Louis Henri Sullivan changed the aesthetic of architecture into only what is functional ruined it. I think it happened in the late 1800's-early 1900's.

This Disney-looking photo, the spectacular St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century to commemorate a military victory. It is easily the most famous sight on Red Square.
