@afewbugs Absolutely. And often, the unlauded/unbudgeted maintenance is critically important: when it doesn’t get properly considered in design, or carried out well, the [impressive ego] project fails! Thinking here about some high-profile buildings designed by “star” architects which develop costly leaks. Also about the huge amounts of public infrastructure, e.g. bridges, which have been poorly maintained such that they now need actual replacement at tremendous public inconvenience and expense.
