The Architect's Role as a Real Estate Developer is unlimited and is a reflection of his historical perspective when he was known in the middle ages as "THE MASTER BUILDER" Quote from John Portman, Architect.

Architects are taught "FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION," but the real world of Real Estate teaches that "FORM FOLLOWS FINANCE."

Real estate development education and training begins in the university Architecture Bachelors Program and should include real estate development.

The professional architect needs to invest in real estate as early as possible by investing in income-producing real estate - "Duplexes, Apartments, Shopping Centers, Office Buildings, and Mixed-Use Projects."
