This sounds like it might be a game-changer, to save us from all this modernism.
Almost everyone I know agrees that classical style building are more beautiful to look at, but all that beautiful stone doesn't let in too much light.
Now we might have materials that allow us to build with a more interesting esthetic and still allow as much natural light as possible.

This resulted in classrooms with long narrow windows and high ceilings to get daylight to cover the room. A 24’ x 30’ classroom would have 10’ ceilings with 7’ windows starting around 3’ off the floor. These windows would be on one wall and make up around 40% of the wall.
