Hello everyone,
I have often wondered what typical “building mistakes” from the 2010s and 2020s will be seen as in a few decades. Would you like to speculate together?
I mean, in the 1970s, it was considered stylish and modern to cover bathroom walls with brown tiles all the way to the ceiling and combine them with sunny yellow sanitary ceramics. Back then, no one could have imagined that this would one day be regarded as unattractive.
Will vinyl flooring and laundry connections on the first floor be seen as typical but now outdated features of our time? Floor-to-ceiling windows? “Smokey eyes” (dark window tinting)? Which elements will make the next generation shake their heads and wonder about our questionable taste?

Why? It’s really convenient, I never want to be without it again, offers great added value. I think this will become an absolute standard in the future.With smartphones, it hasn’t been a standard for a long time – the market will likely move in a different direction.

These are not construction flaws, but rather state-of-the-art practices... I would have agreed until recently. However, according to the original post, the discussion also concerns how these matters will be viewed in the future.

The good old key will still be state of the art in 20 years.Yes, because it will neither be economically nor technically practical to retrofit existing buildings. However, the costs for access technologies in new construction will decrease enough that most people will switch. Which car today is still operated with a traditional key? Twenty years ago, no one would have thought that possible either.WingVII schrieb:
-Coaxial cabling with satellite dish
-Gas heating- Coaxial cabling is only a construction flaw if it is not installed inside conduit.
- You can replace a gas heating system eventually. The bigger issue is when the underfloor heating has large pipe spacing and requires a high supply temperature.
