  40.  @DowntownDeuce22  yup, old buildings had more mass and redundant structure. there are reasons there are still roman buildings standing but I bet nothing we build today will last more than about a century. it's the same reason russian things like the AK47 and MIG are so durrable, they were designed on a peice of paper as opposed to a computer that can calculate the exact structual integerty required to build a structure that can stand on it's own while using the least materials possible so cut costs.
