Good engineers save bad architecture more often than we admit. You've seen it. A design that looks great but doesn't work structurally. An idea that's beautiful but impossible to build. A concept that's exciting but violates every code in the book. Then the engineer steps in. They find a way. They make it work. They solve the problems the architect created. And the project gets built. We don't talk about this enough. We act like architecture is the hero and engineering is the sidekick. But the truth is, good engineers make architects look good. They turn impossible ideas into buildable buildings. The best architects I know work closely with engineers from day one. They don't design in isolation and then hand it off. They collaborate. They listen. They learn. Respect your engineers. They're not there to say no. They're there to say "here's how we make it work."
