Those are exceptions rather that the rule. I still prefer older forms. Like Gothic, Art Deco, Ottoman, and especially Indo-Saracenic.

I agree, those are beautiful forms, but none of them are suitable in modern cities. The dirt is so expensive that it only makes economic sense to build *up*. And that means steel piers and concrete slabs. Stone cladding is ridiculously expensive.
