This thread is *full* of temples and other grand buildings. I think it would be better with some more everyday buildings.

I suggest that existence is itself a form of artistic expression.

I don't necessarily disagree if we're being philosophical, but what does that mean in practice, when it comes time to actually design something? I think it is a major problem that the architecture profession is more interested in waxing poetic than in designing attractive and functional (and functionally urban) buildings. Whatever deeper meanings are imparted in buildings are absolutely meaningless if the building fails.
