My start up in 1984 used the well for internal communications. It was located in a beached paddle wheel boat in Sausalito harbor. Memories...

What a pretentious way of saying that the purpose of a building might change over its lifetime

A building is a guess at how it might be used. With something as complex as a building, the guess cannot realistically be entirely correct.

But buildings are often self-fulfilling predictions...

Those predictions & results often confound and frustrate the inhabitants, and quite often lead to remodeling/rebuilding that could have been avoided. That's my opinion from reading Brand's book "Buildings Learn", anyway.
