Most if not all of modern architecture cannot build a structure like that any more, even in your country

True in a sense, mate!

Let's be honest and recognize that some structures being built today
with ultramodern techniques were unattainable by old school means
but in reverse, the quality in the basics has most likely been lost in part.

When Paris was redone by Haussman in 1853-1870, thousands of
stone workers and masons came to the capital for the job. That feat
would be hampered nowadays as thousands of such people would
consume their number in the land as a whole and if it doesn't, it will
scrap the bottom of the barrel whereas it got the cream back then.

There is obviously a diminution in the pool of talent implying lesser
overall abilities. We're only lucky in France to have a proactive way
on knowledge including technical and cultural which both fit here that
probably preserved the savoir-faire [ know how / know how to do ] themselves.

But I think and hope that you also meant the more worrisome aspect
of the quality of the men themselves? I personally know a stone worker
of worth and at that level they're as good and dedicated as ever before.
At the design level however, most of the structures are done with tools
so efficient that they replace abilities used daily by the architects of yore.
Architects and engineers that went to exams with calculators? What if
an Alien plague strikes Earth and makes batteries useless?
We stop building stuff?

Tweaking a program on a computer only takes logic ( and valid data ).
To be an architect you need a creative soul, some artistic inclination /
sensitivity, the ability to draw and doing math naturally. If the latter is
lost because the machines took over, it ain't so good.

Because basic abilities always work. Even if they're a solar storm! If
you look at the formation of maritime officer crews the world over, they
are still taught stellar navigation first! Because it will work until the stars
blink out and by then we'll have bigger worries than sailing on water.

Ah! Basics! I remember vividly being explained the right triangle as a
kid and understanding that 3 4 and 5 were units so proportions and so
stupendously simple in application.* Basic!

Between an architect / engineer / foreman that whips out an electronic
device and the one that whips out a pad and a pencil, I'll take the latter.

And we'll still need grease monkeys in space!

Have a great day, Tay.

* Fun and cherished memory, thanks for reminding me!

Though this is a bit going off topic but it is an interesting point so allow me to post this last one on here

What I know is restoration or repair and maintennace is in no way comparable in costs and workmanship, materials to an ancient structure look-alike from the ground up nowadays
Please share with us if you are kind enough to find and post some newly established buildings that are modelled after the ancient ones as shown in your pic above

I have one which is located in Spain
This structure is so great that I dont need to further describe it Our folks should know about its name and its famous architect

@Three_Kingdoms dear friend, many thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures of ground realities with PDF memebers.

The pictures do speak millions of words of the Truth. The quality of life and infrastructure in the Free Tibet is on par with any developed country. Great cultural achievements..

You keep up the gerat work. Doing great!

Thank you Sir
Indeed the pictures are just what we want to tell the world what Tibet (and Xingjiang Education Instutions) are today

Bless you! you keep doing the good work. We must smash this evil propaganda of the trouble makers.
I would like to see the comparison of Free Tibet with the hindu occupied South Tibet.

When you have time, please, do start such a thread.

Take care and remain centred.
