Q:What kind of impression do you have of the long range development of Centuarian culture?EX.architecture literateture, art,technology issues,ect.

I expect that architecture will be dominated by the technology that exists, with localized adaptations where necessary such as increased structural strength due to the heavier gravity. New materials will have to be found, or building styles adapted to withstand the unaccustomed pressure and stresses. This may result in thicker walls and/or more load-bearing structures.
As far as art and literature go, that's a hard one as it depends on predicting not just non-existant social conditions but also the mindset of people living their entire lives in these alien conditions...
