So, the question of what buildings "should look like" has been
around
for a long time, and the discussions take a turn into semiotics,
i.e.,
what does a certain style or look convey, betoken, imply, etc.
These questions are at least 100 years old in practical
discussions by
architects, but after almost 2/3 of a century of the influence of
the
International Style and PostModernism in architecture, "what a
building should look like" is a wide-open topic.

twist.
