UPDATE: “Avant-garde my ass.”
In the Bizarro world, a cube-shaped planet known as "Htrae" (Earth spelled backward), society is ruled by the Bizarro Code, which states that it is a crime to do anything well or to make anything perfect or beautiful.

For urban performance: the first job of a building is to make a good public realm - a street where people want to walk.
