Time investment is crucial for thoroughness and attention to detail. However, a rushed project may lack detail. Good architecture is a result of
dedication, understanding of the brief, creativity, quality materials, collaboration, and adaptability over time.

"I don't think that architecture is only about shelter... it should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make
you think." - Zaha Hadid

moods, influence behavior, and prompt contemplation. Thoughtfully designed spaces can spark creativity, encourage social interaction, or

"The best advice I've received is to be yourself. The best artists do that." - Frank Ghery

lasting impression, and even influence architectural trends.
