This doesn't follow at all - architects are much more aware of standards than you are implying. They are not just clueless artists saying "please make it look like this". It's insulting to compare them to vibe-coders.

Unrelated: The phrase is "flesh out". You "flush out" unwanted elements, like rodents.

The analogy, not the 1 to 1 translation, is that the architects come up with the ideas and pass them off to the workers to implement.

You're still missing a gap in the middle, where someone knows standards & specifications like "this material in a building this tall will collapse when it gets over 12 stories".

In big enough projects this is the job of a civil engineer. The architect vs engineer fight that ensues is widely memed. This is of course mostly an issue in one-off projects with ambitious architects.
