Just to rub it in a little, the above from Barry and Vaj is absolutely hilarious given (a) that we're talking about the Netherlands, as Lawson pointed out; and (b) that what Barry refers to as the "obviously artificial structure" imposed by S-V on nature is in fact S-V's primary orienting principle, that buildings should face the sun (you know, that great big bright obviously artificial round yellow thing humans hung up in the sky awhile back). ROTFL!!
