What you end up with is a non-descript boring and useless building. Even great designers have had buildings go unattended and torn down. That's just the cycle of architecture and the built environment. The buildings that seem to last the trial of time are the ones built to define an era and have good craftsmanship. But that is just my opinion...Nice slide show and you gotta love branding! As a designer, I have heard that phrase “I want it to look timeless” so many times.

Just think longer term, multipurpose, and recycled. It doesn't have to be "plain box" but it could be repurposed for something else some day. Interesting photo gallery of dead malls/stores. More "conservative" approaches to building types will change architecture. Yes and no. Just think longer term, multipurpose, and recycled.
