Ah yes, the architect who was apparently in tears because his glass
panels alongside the escalators didn't line up exactly, but who managed
to perpetrate toilet facilities which have been blocked/flooded ever

The function of architecture is to create buildings that look
good in architecture journals and win architecture awards.

Creating buildings that work for their users is optional.

I think architects get points *deducted* if their buildings work for their
