I will have a look, thanks - architecture for me is a sign of how people

Stone and wood are "found" in abundance in the mountains - why should they

And in any case they have proved long(er) lasting materials.
Only cost in the short run may be an issue.
Now, if your yardstick is the century then ...
OTT Kevlar is also used :-)
For hurricane protection in the US I'm told.
