Architects are a fascinating species in how they are totally necessary for a beautiful human scaled city and yet they will quite often times stand in the way of the dream of a human scaled connected environment
The solution? We give every architect permission to make one grand unique massive building that is totally out of scale with its environment but no more, and then we send them back to make 4 story mixed use apartment buildings with mild flourishes and ornamentation
We'll put all the mega complexes in Atlanta since like it already has several of them
Every year all the architects will gather and elect 5 amongst themselves to be allowed to design a new skyscraper in either Chicago, Miami, or New York, if the architect wishes to choose another city, they may but they will not be allowed to be selected again
I feel like there needs to be a sacrifice involved here. Can we sacrifice an architect? Push them off one of the mega complexes?
Naturally, there is more than enough architects for us to sacrifice a few each year
