\label{sec:cuprates2}  With the hindsight of the experience of our first attempt in designing new  cuprates, we revisited the question of designing novel cuprates from a broader viewpoint. We As shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:stack}, we  view the cuprates as a stack of functional layers, with the composition of each layer chosen to play a specific role. The central copper oxide (CuO$_2$) plane supports superconductivity and roughly constrains the in-plane lattice constant. The  remaining layers must tune the chemical potential of the CuO$_2$ layer without  rumpling the plane or introducing disorder, and isolate each CuO$_2$ plane to
