Architecture today often prioritizes striking visuals over how a building actually functions for its occupants. I've worked on projects where the design won awards but the users complained about glare, bad acoustics, or inefficient layouts—no amount of beauty fixes that. Should architects be held more accountable for post-occupancy performance, or is aesthetic experimentation worth the trade-offs? I lean toward demanding measurable accountability, but I'm open to arguments about the long-term cultural value of bold design.
