As a diversion…. While art and music have been deteriorated by modern thinking, I believe that technological improvements have changed modern architecture into some incredible statements of art, and in some cases, music. I am encouraged by the BBC season of “Grand Designs”. From medieval techniques to modern engineering, very eye opening concepts of sustainable architecture. As a landscape architect, I can only hope that my profession moves away from self congratulating mega firms to real educationally based sustainable design. At some point in the near future, as the geopolitical systems start to fail, I hope that intellects from groups such as Gizadeathstar are able to aggregate their incredible range of scientific knowledge to create that better place. I am hopeful, thanks to being here.
Just saying.

I’d just like to say that modern engineering techniques are horrendously inferior and primative compared to what they could do 8000 years ago. Heck.. Even the Roman’s Aquaduc systeme puts modern society’s achievement (HA!) to shame.
Not categorically. I think there are innovative sustainable concepts that are currently being applied on a grand (skyscraper) scale that could not have been executed earlier… of course this by the history that has been presented to me. I agree about the Aqueduct system as I had planned a paper on studying the canal system still existing in Wales as a prime example; plenty of it represents Roman work. Pretty incredible. (Quit being a professor in the university system , instead. HEH.)
