Throughout history, the evolution of humankind has been observed to thrive off of the idea of social structure to develop an existence of logic that invents controversial topics. This trend could be traced back as far as the Renaissance in relation to artists vs. artisans, or the uprising of mass movements pertaining to equality in recent decades, and especially in current events where anyone and everyone is concerned with whether or not, “You can’t sit with us.” –Mean Girls (2003) There has always been a line drawn in the multi-faceted socio-political realm, on to the linear plane that is life.

Nadia agreed with Goldberger and further supported his statements, Bringing into account, the concept of design – to plan and make decisions about (something that is being built or created) in how she denoted as: “focusing on what’s important”. In transparent discussion, design has a purpose. It is entirely composed of a concept drawn from limitations, and considerations to serve the intent, it was designed for; to as opposed to as art can hold purpose, but it is still a free form of self expression. Which bears no argument. She later mentioned: “Comparing the two, (art vs. architecture) would be completely dismissing what we’re doing.” Which invoked a clear connection, to Goldbergers’ discussion. Potentially, that architecture is built to stand, and it’s capability to be artistic is subjective, rather than the design itself being considered an
