Working through form

Building is useful because it turns vague intent into something inspectable. A sketch, a prototype, a room, or a working interface gives the problem edges.

The goal is not to rush past thinking. The goal is to make thought visible enough that it can be tested, edited, and shared.

Architecture trains you to care about sequence, threshold, load, proportion, and constraint. Those habits transfer cleanly into software when the product is treated as a lived environment rather than a set of screens.
