My oldest friend from school is an architect (a prof of architecture & built environment in fact) and this is def a discussion I have had with her! I think she would be up for making the architect work in the building for a year afterwards but even so she has her own blind spots: I went with her to see my old college accommodation (the Florey building on St Clements, totally too warm, expanses of glass, pillars *inside* the rooms for stupid presentation reasons rather than to increase livability). Her and her architect friends swooned over it, me who had lived there hated it.
