Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable. # Cautions carried from each entry # - High-Tech Architecture: If cleaning and repainting the exposed steel and ducts stay out of the plan, grime and patch marks become the design within a few years. # - 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. # Design specs: https://indexstyle.org/styles/high-tech-architecture/design.md · https://indexstyle.org/styles/international-style/design.md
