The details... No matter what you think of modern architecture, you have to admit that this level of craftsmanship is just unheard of nowadays.
Mostly because of how expensive that kind of craftsmanship would be today. Beautiful towers like this one were built when labor was cheaper than materials. But nonetheless, we should definitely be going out of our way to save as many of these beautifully crafted buildings as we can because they are truly irreplaceable.
