I was going to ask how fucking stupid you are, but you can't even check the dictionary to see that the usage is correct before putting your stupidity on full display.
Merriam-Webster defines "aesthetic" as "pleasing in appearance", so not only does "the aesthetic skyline" make absolute sense, it also means that things can indeed "be" aesthetic. Now go fuck yourself.

Must be hard to breathe with an IQ this low. Either way, it still refutes your original point (that things cannot "be" aesthetic), so you can still go fuck yourself.
