I find the architecture arguments dumb. The reason why they were making amazing buildings was because that was the tip of their technological advancement. Buildings became a boring engineering problem to edge engineers.

Our human very tip of advancement is on chip silicone, it's marvelous just like a cathedral was back then https://youtu.be/5Ge2RcvDlgw?feature=shared

But that approach has downsides.

“Pure engineering” lacks soul and art.

It’s important there is a non-economic and non-engineering approach for the things we can touch, see and taste.
