# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Functionalism, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Bauhaus: Scattered shapes read as childish. Give every element a job.
# - Swiss: Too much tidiness turns anonymous. Keep one strong jump in scale.
