A bit interesting is the architectural stylings common among the homeless genre. Housing of the 'house-less' often takes the form of an undesired inefficiency itself, the pile. Undefined right angles, highly malleable, and personalized adjustability are traits common of homeless quarters, sidewalk shacks, shantytowns, and squatter settlements. Features that most capitalistic stack-like products avoid to include. In fact, a cardboard box turned into a sheltering sleeping mat provides a fitting response to the system responsible for the inhabitants conditions; the co-opting of stacks into piles.

  There is something striking between capitalist aims and the proliferation of off-the-grid housing construction within a society. For apparently outside our own hemisphere, many foreign-investment hungry and capital driven cities, in countries like Brazil and India, are witnessing continued expanses of entire cardboard box type neighborhoods. Such trends might directly link capitalism with the inadvertent production of piles. One can only wonder.

Grids

  We can be thankful of street grids for two reasons: simplified navigation (something anyone fortunate enough to spend a few days time wandering the island of Manhattan should be familiar

  To jab once again at all-or nothingness, we should employ a bit of skepticism when approaching the producer/product divide. According to who is one one and the other never? Children for instance can be either product or producer; depending on whether you are a housewife, or a farmer's wife. And as automated teller machines and steroids demonstrate, can not a product also be a producer? Similar definitional disagreements have been popularized with the age-old riddling debate concerning chickens and eggs. Which despite any kitsch value included, remains a valid point: If products can produce, and producers can become products – then maybe there is pointlessness in labeling either.

  All offspring and technologies aside, cycling loops can be applied to currently more relevant relationships: architecture and capitalism. The majority of this section has, and will continue to explore buildings as potential manifestations of capitalistic tendencies. It would be quite one-sided of us to abstain from considering a possible vice-versa scenario. Correlations among the escalations of capitalism and grid design have failed to generate substantial curiosities.

  As any respectable statistics professor might reiterate, correlation does not mean causation. Often there is an outside factor tending to escape explanations. To borrow an example from my college days, statistics indicate a strong correlation
