Maya Ying Lin's design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial appealed the judges of the design contest; she had what seemed to be the best design compared to the other concepts, thus becoming the winner of the design contest.
Dumbbell tenements were dangerous due to their cramped living conditions and poor sanitation. Designed to maximize space, these buildings often had inadequate ventilation and limited access to natural light, leading to unhealthy environments. Overcrowding exacerbated the spread of diseases, while shared facilities like bathrooms and kitchens increased the risk of fire and hygiene issues. Overall, the design prioritized profit over the well-being of residents, making them hazardous places to live.
The main reason for the design of the dumbbell tenement was to maximize housing space in densely populated urban areas during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This architectural style featured a narrow, elongated shape resembling a dumbbell, allowing for more apartments in a limited footprint while providing some light and ventilation through narrow air shafts. However, these design features often led to poor living conditions, as the shafts were inadequate for proper airflow and sanitation.

Some troublesome costs of conformity in housing include limited creativity in design, lack of individuality in neighborhoods, and reduced innovation in housing construction techniques. Additionally, conformity can perpetuate unsustainable practices and hinder diversity in housing options.
In the late 1990s, the use of computer-aided design (CAD) and "virtual models" to optimize design and construction greatly streamlined the building process.
