1. Cost: Experimental architecture may often involve the use of unconventional materials and designs, which could increase the cost of construction.
2. Sustainability: Sustainable practices may require additional investments upfront, but could have long-term cost savings, which may be a significant economic factor in experimental architecture.
3. Functionality: Experimental architecture may incorporate features that could impact usability, maintenance, cleaning, and repairs that may have economic implications.
4. Adaptability: The ability of the experimental architecture to adapt to changing needs and demographics could impact the facility's economic prospects.
5. Innovation: Innovation could come with additional expenses towards research and development that would have economic implications.
6. Public Perception: The experimental architecture could be viewed as extraordinary or beyond what is needed, which may have hidden economic costs in terms of sales, usage, and maintenance.
7. Market Factors: The ability to attract a market for experimental architecture could determine the success of the project, and therefore, its economic implications.
