Brooks uses the analogy of a new chemical process where they will
first build a pilot plant before building the full-scale plant. Lots
of cutting edge stuff starts with a proof-of-concept unit.
Not being an expert by any means, I'd say most office buildings are,
at the engineering level, like most other office buildings. When they
deviate too much then big problems do creep in.
