I wasn't hating on Gang or architects that change their style on each project. Different people have different design approaches and those approaches have different strengths. One of the strengths of approaching it the way Goettsch seems to (working within a theme or series) is that the details tend to get better over time.

Like if you are a painter and you paint oil based portraits exclusively you will probably become very good at mixing flesh tones, using oils, painting detailed shadows, lighting a figure etc. You're probably going to be better at those details than the painter that jumps from one style to another and one medium to another. That doesn't mean they aren't also a great artist or that their approach is bad.
