The buildings that house government offices should reflect democratic values to the extent possible. They should be distinctive from private office buildings and register a knowable public character. Their fenestration should not mimic the bureaucratic stereotype's regimentation and their facades should not repel us psychologically. Also to be avoided is the government mall that overwhelms the human scale with massive size or seduces the human spirit with consumerist values. A better house for bureaucracy in the polis is one that evokes the ancient symbols of classical architecture, attracts our attention as a regional curiosity, or delights us with unexpected form and color. Bureaucracy and democracy are compatible in architecture as they are on governance
