For my next design I shall use the interplay of concave and convex surfaces

Oh no, the concave side seems to act as a lense and has melted a car.

Why did that go out of style anyways?

With Ottawa and Toronto especially, those areas are where a lot of smaller or specialty stores can find a niche, and there's lots of good bars and restaurants.

Commercial traffic and noise NIMBY helped, to the tune of municipalities (especially suburban) not allowing that sort of zoning. Also for low-mid rise developments that are wholly owned by one entity it probably makes some amount of sense to specialize in residential or commercial as you only have one sales and support team focusing on moving and/or supervising apartment/condo units instead of trying to mix that with commercial leases and vice versa.

Is there a definition of dome that I'm not aware of?

What is with dumb architects and marble paneling, seriously.

Even the ancient aliens couldn't make cladding stick to the pyramids, what hope do we even have now?
