I deal with lots of designers who were too into colors/textures or to dumb to make Arch. If the Arch of record doesn't reign the design in, the Engineers set them both straight and things quickly devolve back to real world.
I was wondering about that myself. Could they put it on rollers or springs so that it is not attached to the building? The pool could move a bit were something to happen.
