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

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Case Study Houses: Copying the glazed openness while neglecting sun and privacy control produces a hot, exposed house that photographs well and cannot be lived in.
# - International Style: A white box alone misses the structure, free plan, industrial materials and social program, and ornament stripped without tuned proportion and detail reads as cheapness, leaving openings with no reason for their position.
