What we are going to get is graffiti passed off as urban art or murals.
Just what kind of "signage or decorative archietctural elements" could
cure the bad design of those blank stucco walls. What's needed are
windows and doors, that's what creates a human scale and feel to
buildings.
Doing a windowless wall well architecturally is not easy. They knew
how to do it in the 1930s, just look at the front of the Paramount
Theater. But this is 2007 where Fake Classical and Strip Mall stucco
as all the rage. :-(
