Reminds me of a story, but I don't know if this actually happened:

An architect was asked to plan a new university campus. He presented his plans with all the different buildings, but people were astonished: "You have not planned any paths in your layout!". Architect: "We'll just sow grass everywhere. A year later, we will know where to put the paths."
