The plan is more euphoric (for the designer at any rate) than the elevation possibly because it is not subject to the figurative discipline of a facade. It may seem to the designer to be a tidy resolution of architectural intention and contingency - a diagram of this achievement. The elevation is much more fraught and reveals lack of intention - all that time spent in various dissipations a fraction of which might have been better spent in architectural investigation. The facade will not go away despite ever larger sheets of glass and various off-the-peg "systems" whether conceptual or constructional.
