In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function.
My favorite project is always the next one.
If I have a style, I am not aware of it.
Architecture is not all about the design of the building and nothing else, it is also about the cultural setting and the ambience, the whole affair.
I once got a postcard from a French poet who wrote - "you don't know me but I'm always very grumpy when I get up in morning.

If, when we compare two versions of a story, the second known to be a retelling of the first, and find that the second has more of a miraculous element, we may reasonably conclude we have legendary (or midrashic or whatever) embellishment. The tale has grown in the telling. This sort of comparison is common in extrabiblical research and no one holds that it cannot properly indicate legend formation there.
