>>13426949>Build one structure that needs to be torn down in 10 years because more modern developments need the space vs a flexible utilitarian approach>. Bullshit like this is why our modern infrastructure is crumbling Except it's not? Maybe in places like Detroit it is which is for social reasons. Imagine if you had built subsidised car factories meant to last 2000 years, the USA would be bankrupt and people still wouldn't buy the shitty cars.
>>13426971Lets save some time. The best material to use is diamond, it will last almost until the heat death of the Universe. Why not make a fucking pure diamond aquadact out of fused crystals? No, we optimize the material selection for the expected use time, everything else is vanity.
Rebar abosolutely is the perfect combination of cheap and flexible materials. It is the best we have right now.
