Public Architecture?

This week we have been considering the role of the public in public art. Successfully received public art considers the community that it is installed in. So does the same hold true for architecture. Should new architecture have to consider the community in the in the facade of the building. Architecture is argueably huge scale public art, so should the same considerations be in place for new buildings? Should the public be consideration when constructing a new space and if so in what way should they have an input.
