Quite insightful. Maybe you can explain how doors, windows, balconies and roof are "unrelated architectural elements". Every building I've seen has at least one of each - except for balconies but I guess it's nice for people to have a place to sit outside. 

I think the issue is they pulled in a dozen or more elements from different buildings of different styles. The original buildings may have coherent design, but this concept does not, because the elements don't really work together, and there is no consistency to the balconies or windows.

Just my opinion. And I don't know whether this is what actually gets built, either, so the entire discussion may be moot.
