Meeting Space, Folly and Lifts

How do the folly, the lifts and the school all link to the theory?

The lift, school and the folly address the conflict between pragmatism and radical design in architecture. I have designed the school to represent pragmatism through using purely cubes and rectangular prisms in its construction. However, I have then used extra boxes to pile them over one another, using pragmatic shapes in a more radical way. Similarly, the lifts contrast against the cubes of the school as they are both angular and asymmetrical.
