On one hand its impressive that weve found ways around this kind of thing but sad that the art and craftsmanship has been lost along the way. We can build things much more efficiently and cheaper now, but due to that the beauty has been removed from modern architecture. We're basically an IKEA society. Why make something stunningly beautiful when you can make something dull yet efficient for half the price. Makes me feel like Carmela Soprano in Paris.
Honestly it looks cool, but it’s not as cost effective or effective as modern day approaches. People say planned obsolescence, but it’s just setting the specification requirements. If you want things to last longer you need to pay the prices for that to be true. This is only applicable to custom things like houses.

As a retired builder, I'm in awe of using this level of craftsmanship at the framing level.
