Architecture 101

If I were teaching design, perhaps in a high school, I think that on the first day of class, I'd distribute this comparison of Manhattan's Flatiron Building and Fort Lauderdale's condo complex called the Nautical Towers, and I would ask the class to write about why one works and the other does not. I'd also ask them to suggest improvements to the one that does not work. (No points for suggesting that it be demolished.)
