Sure, for big building projects, the formal project management is what’s followed, with minor deviations usually. These are usually pretty well specced. Whilst architects may design the building or software to be “just right”, the people who actually code/build it have to get round the practical problems of time, materials constraints, and bits that the architect just plain didn’t consider.

On top of that there is the external interior design software interface, whether console or GUI, which should also look and feel right, whilst conforming to whatever style guidelines exist. It’s nonsense to say that software has no aesthetics - I would hope that most software engineers have a sense of what aesthetically pleasing code looks like.
