Form often follows finance, though this is not always acknowledged in architecture. Projects succeed when form, capital structure, and exit strategy are aligned from the outset, rather than addressed only when budgets become restrictive. Ignoring financial realities leads to redesigns, unnecessary costs, and compromised intent. Engaging with capital early does not diminish architectural integrity; it provides clarity. Effective architecture works with financial constraints, shaping and respecting them as part of the design process. Designing without financial understanding is equivalent to designing without direction.
