Or Rococo.

Blending mid mod architecture and styling with modern technology would be ridiculously awesome.

None will come back. We live in the era of Disposable Architecture with pre engineered metal buildings with EIFS facades.

It is money-the low bid. No one wants to spend what it takes to actually build something that lasts. Only occasionally does it happen.

Baroque
Greek Revivalist
Gothic
Neo-Classical
Renaissance


Buildings of these styles are works of art and can be a small step in generating tourism (it gives the tour guides something impressive to show off and discuss, no one does that with something like the Chase building in downtown BR). The art of the building often included interesting flourishes that held some meaning which gave the building a bit of its own personality.

Go on a bus tour to some place like Philly, NYC or Boston and notice the styles of the buildings that are pointed out but also the styles that really capture your attention for longer than a 5-second glance. I would wager the majority of those aren't going to be the crap-shows like what is more often built today.
