Costs too much both in terms of materials and labor. You'd unironically need slaves to profitably build something like this to the same standards, otherwise it'd be so exorbitantly expensive it'd be impossible and unwise for even the wealthiest. In many ways having possession over buildings built with these methods is a way of demonstrating power, and I suppose I'd be madder about it if the asbestos and other forms of poisonous bullshit inherent from before humanity gave a tinkers damn for safety weren't slowly killing anyone inside of them.

These 3 got it right

This rabbit hole requires a lot of research and there’s a lot of gaps and bullshit about the loss of older architecture skills.

The theory that has the most evidence is the found masonry theory.
Many of these old buildings around the world have evidence of being built long before we think they were. Most of the time they’ve had updates at the time they were “built”
There’s people who say it’s remnants of Lemuria, Atlantis, tartaria, etc
It depends on the part of the world they’re located

Whatever the truth is, we’re being lied to about it
Autodidactic YouTube and Author Howdie Mickoski do a good job of asking questions about this but they probably don’t get everything right.

But our style SHOULD be that style because it looks better and everyone knows it. And because it would connect us to our past. We wouldn't feel like we're living in a post-apocalyptic land of giants who came before us; we would feel we had a responsibility to continue the past and its lineage. Which is probably why it was stopped; subconciously post-WWI when the world basically ended (civilization did anway in Europe) and we lived like post-Roman barbarians in the ruins ever since. We wanted to dissacociate ourselves with everything to do with our 19th century ancestors in the 1960s/70s onwards because we blamed them for the fucking mess we lived in today.

We could, but we use certain materials and builders learn those materials and the methods for them. We've gone through approx. 100 yr. cycles of new fuels and new materials for building since coal took off. The last one seems to be lingering the longest because we're still using oil and steel. You can't carve icons out of steel. It's a utilitarian material. But those 20th-century buildings have some nice gothic things about them too.

But again, you make the mistake of assuming they were doing the same thing. They weren't. You look at something like what DuPont and Chrysler did in New York and you extrapolate that out to every city in America where there are wealthy builders. These guys were aiming to do something totally different, they had different tastes, and more importantly, the methods and materials they used were different. Stone and iron were still common building materials even while we transitioned to steel buildings. Now, it's almost entirely steel and many more buildings are made out of aluminum. This, and the whole construction process is different. It's just not practical to make something as ornate as the 20th century steel Empire State Building out of aluminum, something as ornate as the 19th century E.V. Haughwaught & Co. building out of steel. John Ruskin had a saying "you can't find art where there is smoke". Basically, he meant the more the industrial process and the more complex, the more streamlined and inornate they must be as a matter of necessity. And really, it was DuPont and Chrysler that kicked this off. When they built their buildings they had streamlined the process so much that when the steel arrived at the New York job site from Pittsburgh, it was still hot. So from there, the process is super-streamlined, new alloys used, and so on. Go on. Imagine carving icons out of aluminum. You can't.

tower bridge was opened in the 1890s
that's only one generation removed from living memory
it has a steel frame with masonry cladding so is as structurally modern as any building being made today
the difference is in the detailing and embellishment

That's a leasehold and they can last longer than a century (I've seen 249 year ones). There is also a freehold in which you own the land outright and can pass it down generations. In Muttland the government can tax and eminent domain your "property"

Well, we're now at a point where it's neither economical nor good quality. In America, if you want to do a stone and brick project, you can. But you're going to pay a premium for it, you're going to have to find high quality masons for that sort of project, of which there are not many, and in the end, the sort of undertaking might just not be appropriate for what you're building. I mean, putting aside residential which is another topic, why would like a chain of say, restaurants build opulent stone buildings? It really doesn't make sense and they don't have the money if they wanted to. If a private individual is going to build one, most often it's their own home. And then you just have to consider that this is just the way things are done now for so many reasons, like meeting electricity regulations, ac/heating, all sorts of things. Consider Universities. They used to get large donations, and use them to build these very collegiate gothic and neoclassical buildings. Now, that's so impractical that they instead build steel, aluminum, and glass buildings that meet all sorts of green standards, space standards, and maintenance requirements, are cheaper, easier to maintain, and for which they can easily find crews capable of doing the work. So it's this whole systemic thing and there's really just very little individual or collective will for traditional architecture even though there's a strong desire to see it. It's honestly hard to imagine a world where most new construction goes back to stone in a world where the backbone of construction is steel and aluminum alloy.

The Aristocracy and the Church had enormous sums of capital but not that much they can do with it. They could afford to be extravagant. There's now a million different things someone can do with a large sum of money so we're less extravagant.

Cost and Culture. Back then all you had to pay for was the architect, stone and stone mason.

Today you have all that plus extra permitting fees, engineering costs, code compliance costs, enviromental compliance, diversity costs (if a govt job) and a laundry list of other bullshit that makes construction much more expensive.

The culture part is two fold. Back then construction largely wasnt done by investment firms, reits or insurance companies whereas today it is and those groups dont build for aesthetics. We've also become a society that celebrates ugliness. Occassionally a beautifuk work will get through but its an uphill battle.

Grinding stones with water and sand. It took ages but they did it. There's a tribe that can still do it but got the banhammer because muh tourist need to believe in ayylmaos.
They do it with the same kind of stone but with smaller stones.
The amazing part is that they used no mortar and that they are earthquake proof.
That kind of stone grinding is called the royal stone and the plebs had the pleb stone or "rough" stone that used no grinding and needed mortar to stay together.
Still amazing

Architecture is one of a few good indicators of what a a civilization values. The 19th century saw the expansion of industry. The 20th century saw Americans building cathedrals of commerce. If there's any building marvel of the 21st century it's the massive overproduction of cookie-cutter townhomes in suburban developments from Boston to San Diego.
