The objectification of architecture

It seems undeniable that architecture today is shifting towards envelope focused design. And rightfully so. After all, with all the advancements in building and material technologies, so many design gestures can now be achieved in a practical and environmentally friendly way. However, is this focus on building envelopes creating an objectified style of architecture that lacks substance? I can recall walking into numerous buildings with striking and exciting exteriors only to be utterly disappointed by what is inside – nothing. A perfect example of this type of architecture is a Kansas City Missouri Temple - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From the exterior it is undoubtedly the most striking building in that area of the city. However, the best way to describe the interior is an office building with dozens of small square rooms. 

Practically speaking, I know that often times projects lack a budget large enough to accommodate both a revolutionary envelope and interior design. But does this make it right to only pick one and ignore the other?  In my mind it seems like a more balanced approach would result in a more meaningful and memorable experience for users.
