I never, ever, said “All code must be beautiful. I never even implied it. Unless there is some general agreement that I am unaware of among architects and builders that building codes exist to make building plans “beautiful”.
And about that implied ad hominem. It doesn’t matter if I’m a pro.
Building codes allow one to say whether plans conform or do not conform to code. That way you don’t have to be a “pro” to determine whether the plan is up to code. You compare the plan to the code. You didn’t write the code. You don’t need to think the code describes beautiful plans. You just compare.
