The Greek alphabet, sure, but Hagia Sophia? The one that was ordered to be built by a Roman emperor and consecrated by a Christian bishop from Antioch? I would describe it as Roman, Byzantine, or Ottoman before I would describe it as Greek.

Calling anything that came from before the 19th century a result of "Greek" culture makes things a bit murky, though. If, hypothetically, baklava was developed in what is now Istanbul, is it a result of Greek, Turkish, Byzantine, Roman, Persian, or Ottoman culture? The answer is that it's a silly question.

Other animals also commit rape for pleasure, but we don't use that as a moral guideline for human behavior.

These projects are so interesting from an architectural/engineering standpoint, but then they hit you with the "rethink the rules that say how much green space an apartment needs or where its windows must be." I highly doubt the best long-term policy for a city's residents involves even less greenspace and natural light.
