Of course at the time it was necessary for modern architecture to use new/different construction techniques. Although now the former is loved and the latter is loathed for leaking and sagging at the time you basically couldnt have one without the other. Its like someone today complaining that ruby on rails (or whatever popular software you like really) was monolithic and buggy when first written. Sure - but that misses the entire achievement of it. Its impossible to do something so radically new perfect for all future needs the first time.
