 In my opinion iron buildings are not dead, just that the replacement material much stronger (in compression and tension), called steel, which allowed the construction of tall buildings with great people capacity, such as skyscrapers. And the new esthetic had much to do with that, because to satisfy the ambition to make more complex shapes, had to resort to finding other material that could be easily molded.
