Those silly architects never thought of this.
A building that requires human pain to stand? I guarantee you this is something at least a few architects have fantasized at length about. Like ours, it seems to be a profession that attracts outliers.
It is the opposite of the usual process, where workers on the field turn the architect plans into swear words.
