There has been quite a trend towards using new and innovative methods in architecture these days, such as fiberglass columns which are quite easy to install and maintain and look very real. More and more people are going in for such items, and with the kind of technology that has progressed, builders and architects are able to take advantage of such options. I'm all for using advancements in technology to improve the way one lives and this field is one where there has been significant developments, to the point that the entire manner of construction has changed.
