Hello can someone please clarify what this quote means "a doctor can bury his mistakes, but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines" - Frank Lloyd Wright
Obvious answer: architect's mistakes are hard to hide, you have to cover the ugly building with beautiful nature. Real subtext answer: If the architect makes mistakes, they ask the doctor to bury the architect as the fertilizer for the vines.

It's much easier to demolish and rebuild than it is to regrow a limb. Obvious answer is: architectural mistakes are not important when compared to a mistake in a medical field.

Thanks
I means that doctors have actually difficult jobs involving real life safety issues and architects do not.
if an architect makes a mistake, it's harder to hide it
if architects make a mistake, they get buried by the contractor
If a contractor makes a mistake, they bury the architect
