@khinsenKonrad Hinsen @apostolis Also, if you think about architecture at a larger scale... Most cities are equally the result of organic bottom-up growth vs the few cities which have been planned specifically, and even fewer of them having been able to retain that original vision/layout over time, and/or the layout turned out to be causing all sorts of intended or unintended problems, e.g. amplifying inequality/segregation, transport and new planning/zoning issues due to over-reliance on some predefined artificial design aesthetic/philosophy/constraints, distribution of green spaces, etc.

(Konrad, that's actually also a good example for your recent point re: hierarchies don't scale, i.e. a top-down architecture approach which works on the level of a single building/complex, might not do so well at larger scale, or even on smaller scale...)
