would say indefinitely as long as they are maintained. there are cathedrals in europe that are centuries old so i don't see why a modern skyscraper can't last as long or longer.

omg. most of the buildings put up today are as disposable as a tampon.
the skeletal structure is sound. but the buildings are all cladding.
unlike cathedrals.
alot of them will be torn down.
and the rest will be treated like your local strip mall.
every 20 or thirty years, they'll peel off the cladding and replace with whatever is fashionable.
i only hope that the best will be left and maintained.
the trick is the pick and choose rationally.
