This case exactly exemplifies the game of art criticism: hermeneutic speculation has a function of enhacning discourse beyond original intensions. Venturi taught us that something quite ordinary (i.e. NOT special in its original context) can öe a shockingly expressive element if inserted to a contrasting context where its appearance is not usual, expected, or scandalously controversial. It seems that you have achieved something SPECIAL, while trying to accomplish an ordinary professional commission naively.
