5 Ways Architecture Explains the Gap Between Plans and Reality
- A plan view shows a bird’s-eye perspective of a building’s layout, representing intention and design.
- An elevation view shows a side perspective, representing how the building actually appears in reality.
- The difference between these two views mirrors the gap between what you intend to do and what you actually do.
- This metaphor applies to any creative or personal project where execution diverges from the original vision.
- The same person who nerds out over architecture is the same person who composes music — the duality is intentional.
