I find this interesting, because although I'm always in support of new and interesting styles of architecture, and not necessarily going back to old styles, 1000+ yrs from now when whoever is around judges which were the best styles so far, it's possible their choice will be a style we've already passed by, we may have already passed our zenith.

I agree. As close as one can get to perfection.
