does anyone know what the extra European buildings are that came with the new patch?

I have started a new European themed map and fail to see any newbuildings. Possibly some high density ones?
I'd love to see more low density traditional buildings. Maybe some cottages, half timber houses, low density rowhouses and what has bothered me the most:
Why are all the high level houses ugly concrete/glass monstrosities!?
I don't get it. They are ugly enough in real life, why do they pollute my beautiful cities with their malformed monotonous presence?
Why is there not a single historical villa? Like this one, or that one. Too upscale?
I thought a fully upgraded building is inhabited by well to do citizens.
Also, there seems to be a distinct lack of small rowhouses.
When I build a european city, soon all my low density zones vanish. It seems inevitable, because unlike the wall to wall buildings, that look acceptable even when you plaster them with advertisement signs, the low density concrete glass atrocities do not conform to the cities overarching style.
In fact, the glass bunkers not only look soulless, they don't even offer protection from explosions, or natural disasters and you can't even mount a cannon on top of them. Caernarfon castle beats them in all categories. Slap some solar panels on top of it and it's a level 5 dwelling worthy of your liege lord!

Fair point, albeit some cities do have those kind of cube-shaped stone Bauhaus buildings in low residential areas. They look more European than American anyway (while lower level housing looks more America).
I mostly miss modern buildings, as European cities have not stopped developing in 1930. These, of course, should be largely of smaller height than their vanilla CS counterparts, maybe in the 8-10 floors range.

Thank goodness for Building Themes & Prop Remover mods. They allow me to screen out the worst ( ie the majority) of vanilla buildings and to remove the hideous clown heads and other trash from the rest!
