It seems what you're saying is that the exterior aesthetics is the future-proofing.
That I can understand, I do like nicer facades, but I have to disagree that you say they will always look good. There are plenty of people in the past and now who dislike that style. I know it's popular among the demographic here (myself included) but that doesn't include everybody. Personally the parliament house there in the OP looks too grey and stony for me, nothing ruinous it just needs some planters out front or something. But that could be because I live in Australia and am so used to seeing green around every building and sight. It's odd (and honestly quite disconcerting --makes travelling through certain parts of foreign cities uncomfortable) for me to look at something and have no plants in my field of view. Pic related is representative of what places look like around where I live in Sydney.
