I don't agree that all modern ages quickly. To me it's about identifying fads, versus architecturally significant motifs that won't expire. The work of Frank Lloyd Wright for example was modern at the time it was being built, and yet it has aged incredibly well. Valuable architecture comes from attempting to emulate art through design. The issue is that much of our modern architecture is based off a utilitarian or financially related cause.
