Others have answered about the architectural changes that happen over time.
Let me address a different aspect of your question which isn't answered here.
You ask: "Why can't we replicate the same kind of resilience with modern day architecture?"
You, like most people, have an ill conceived notion that buildings of olden times are more stronger and durable than the modern-day buildings (a classic case of overrating the past and underrating the present). Now, this is entirely misleading for the simple fact that the words 'strong' or 'durable' have no essence without being accompanied by the word 'economical'.
I can build a house with 500mm thick RCC walls using M40 grade concrete which would be durable by any imaginable measure. But that would make me a terrible engineer for it would drain the finances of my client.
The older buildings seem more durable because they were highly uneconomical owing to their 'conservative' design and time-consuming construction. We neither had the modern design techniques nor the materials to build a safe and durable structure that is also economical.
Therefore, it is not that we cannot build buildings like we used to, but, we choose not to
