That's also not the Earth Sciences Centre...that's the Bahen Centre, which is delightful.

Yet modernism was not yet mainstream when neo-gothic buildings were built and revivals were more palatable. Modernism revolutionized architecture to such a degree that going back is extraordinarily difficult.

The overwhelming majority of today's "traditional" architecture follows loose and vague interpretations of pre-modernist styles.
I don't actually think you have to be trained in the classical orders to be able to design beautiful buildings - you just need to have a good eye and a great aesthetic sense.
