It is also still in progress of building but is still currently in use.
Through time, can you see a change in the design of the buildings and the materials used to construct them?

I think that these newer building are more futuristic and less decorative, the older building have something about them a feeling of elegance and something special. They are all unique and different but all these new ones look the same and have almost no individuality. 
The Older ones are so much more interesting to look at and photograph, but i guess it total depends on what you are photographing, for example, the newer building will be good for lines, allusion and changing perspective, such as liner perspective. 
As the older building will be amazing for pattern, texture and will look so much more interesting with the different angles you can experiment with.
