I think they are designed to do that. If an engines rotating assembly seizes up, the reaction torque is significant enough to overload the airframe. So the pins holding the engine in place just break. Not like a seized engine is doing that much for you anyway.

What could be worse than the traditional modern mirrored box?

Not always. Take The John Hancock tower in Boston. It puts the maximum amount of usable floor space into a awkward space/street footprint. Reflects the Historic Buildings of Copley Square in a rather dignified way. I also think it has a magnificent appearance in the Boston Skyline. On top of that it is a very functional building.
