I think the approach to architecture written about in this article is a very positive and interesting one that I didn't know existed. In one way I see it similar to exaggerating on one's resume. The architects are pushing the truth to convince investors to get excited and choose their plans. The actual results may not line up with what was promised, but gaining the ability to fill the position gives the individual a chance to show what really can be done.
In another way, this approach is really much more like conceptual art than what I know as traditional architecture. The idea trumps the actually end product. The architect first picks and idea, an ideal that he/she wants to achieve and imply. The end result is trying to express that original idea within the constraints of the form.
