Sigh. There is not one architect that designed the building (even if one gets his name on for publicity reasons - there is a team.) The architect is also only one part of the process - I sure hope you know that they don't actually implement their designs.

The "conspiracy theory stuff" is the "But that's worse for him, because it means he knew what would happen and didn't care." part. That was an extremely ignorant comment to make.

I'm happy that you think its a simple mistake, but you don't have the credentials to claim that. Middle school math doesn't cut it.
