Business of Architecture

Architecture is often romanticized as a solitary pursuit — a visionary genius sketching forms that change skylines. But the truth is, architecture is not a solo act. It is a structured enterprise, a living ecosystem where vision meets viability, and creativity is sustained by the machinery of management.
The moment you decide to employ yourself — even before hiring your first intern or renting an office — you are no longer just an architect. You are an enterprise. You are a legal, financial, and operational entity that must function with clarity, compliance, and accountability.
