I think that there is often a dichotomy that dictates that old traditions must die to make way for the new. And in some cases, this is true, as attitudes and priorities of a culture begin to change, often in conjunction with the rise of new technologies. This is certainly true in the case of Buckingham Palace, and most likely many other buildings like it all over the world, which symbolize a rich history, but perhaps need to be brought up to speed in order to have a life in a newly imagined future.
