Architecture and real estate development are closely interrelated fields. Real estate developers rely on architects to design buildings that will attract potential buyers or renters and meet local building codes and zoning regulations. These architects work closely with developers to create designs that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and that fit within the developer's budget.
In turn, architects rely on real estate developers to select their firms for projects, provide opportunities to showcase their skills, and to help them to get their work noticed. The two professions work together in a symbiotic relationship, with developers providing the finances and the vision for a project, and architects providing technical skills and artistic direction to bring that vision to life.
