Do you think that a couple of hundred year from now, people will look back at what we are building today as important historic legacy?

No. I think they will look back at what is going on now with sadness and regret.

It depends on which buildings they are looking at. The London Shard is something that,I think, will be an inspiration hundreds of years from now.

I think you are right, Anne… Although I think the number of awe-inspiring buildings will be reduced over time, and the mystery about them killed by Google, Wikipedia and the like. Amazing buildings tend to lose their attraction power when we know exactly how they were built, wouldn’t you say?

I don’t think they will look back because there won’t be anybody around to look back

Sadly, you could be right, Wayne. I hope you’re wrong… History will tell us. *Fingers crossed*

I think they might despise us because we rather destroy the planet than give up on our convenience 💓

Very true, Bee. I won’t name any example, but the stadiums built in Qatar for the World Cup (if my memory is not failing me, which just might be doing) is totally appaling. At least, if we keep going, there won’t be anybody to judge us that far ahead in time…. Which is not a consolation, if you ask me.

Seriously?? A whole Casino-town built in the middle of the desert… I think that people will wonder how (and more importantly why) you did that 😛

When I saw this question, I did not think you meant physical buildings, I presumed you meant some of the changes in attitudes, and social awareness. I think recent decades have been historical in some ways. The roles women can play in the working world, the choices women can make about their own life-course, the spotlight on various forms of discrimination. There have been some really good and noble changes. There have been lots of other changes too…which perhaps a younger generation are pleased with, but an older generation is very uneasy and concerned about. One hundred years from now, I have a feeling that some of the rapid social developments we have seen will be looked at as beneficial, whereas others will make future generations wonder what was wrong with us for thinking it was ok.
I would hope that in a hundred years from now…our human family will be much concerned for our planet, and not concerned with the commercial, industrial aspects of the system.

Amen, Caramel… I did mean physical building when I first posted this. But you are so right. We’ve done a lot of good chances even if there’s still a lot to do. Let’s hope for the best for the years to come xx

I suspect their reaction will be along the lines of, “What the &%$#@! were they thinking?”
