I struggle with conversations about buildings being so focused on aesthetics because I think it is quite far down the list of importance. Which is not to say that I don't care about aesthetics, because I do. I just don't feel it should be the primary metric of a good design. To that point, Barcelona chair is considered an icon of design, and yet its legacy in terms of comfort is mixed and ergonomics is terrible. It's difficult for me to understand, then, why it carries so much influence in design.
