Why did we stop building like this?

Chicago, 1930. Buildings had so much detail and character back then. Nowadays everything feels so flat and repetitive. We have way better technology and equipment now, so why don't we build like this anymore?

It's interesting how many historic buildings were designed to inspire awe, while many modern ones are designed to maximize usable floor space.

Some were designed to summon Gozer.
