In response to "The problem with all this "modern" stuff is that it ends up looking dated very quickly." by TWuG

every building is of its age

no more "dated" than Notre Dame or the Parthenon

Responses:

Those two places aren't dated they are timeless. You see elements of each in buildings both pre-dating and post-dating them - TWuG Oct 19, 21:14

- nobody would build Notre Dame the way they did then if they were starting from scratch today - hachiko Oct 19, 21:15 1
  - It isn't about someone deciding to build it from scratch *today*, it's that it has been incorporated into basic architecture from it's creation until - TWuG Oct 19, 21:21
