Love your post.
My father was an architect and has worked for long time with public and ecclesial authorities and was very often so disappointed of the lack of foresight. It seemed the only interest was how to spend money before the year is over and to satisfy the pride and greed of some single persons, not sustainability. For example, a parish wanted to build a new parish hall and instead of planning a complex which could be used for multiple activities and groups of people, they wanted a classic church house (although the numbers of members recede every year). Now the parish must sell this object, because nobody uses it anymore and they have debts. Or houses are planned with an only emphasis on a representative appearance, but are not climate adequate (to many windows, cannot be heated, mildew grows when attended by many people… and so on) So the houses are a constant construction side.
I love your planning both the climatic condition and the social functions of the buildings. I would be great if innovative architecture were more supported!
