builder’s remorse
when a corporation or inst-tution (museum, university), signs off on the creation of a new building for itself, usually designed by a “starchitect”, convinced that this new “home” will bestow prestige, success, and street-cred among its -ssociates, patrons, and even its rivals. occurrence usually coincides with various economic “bubbles” where cash seems to be overflowing everywhere.
