Never mind. In the architecture world nowadays the various awards for architecture get handed out on completion of construction, before any operational issues become apparent. So no worries there.
They certainly do. One building that I have to work in a couple of times a month is another simple example:

When the design was finalised, a 'blueprint' was proudly displayed in the old building. Myself and others pointed out several flaws that would make the daily use of the building irritating and that could have been changed if anyone had asked.

Yea, verily and so it came to pass.
Just inside the door is a plaque for an award to the architect. I'm glad that I have never met him.
