architecture has challenge
which I understand is why we have all these design challenges we may deal with
yk right now having to fabricate our tower with limited material is certainly one example
but I always think of gravity
the concept of gravity at the broadest surface level scale is simple
it just holds us down
but that means so much when it comes to architecture
there's reason behind why we tend to say "arts and architecture"
hell we are in the College of Arts and Architecture
the simple fact of buildings being bound by gravity removes or at the very least reduces a lot of artistic possibilities compared to the mediums we recognize as being art
paintings have to be hung on a frame and painted on a canvas, sure, but within that canvas you can do whatever
same for a graphic design on a t shirt or a logo or a flyer
there's less constraints of reality in those fields
but in architecture it is much more obvious

everything has to be condensed into one construction, all this energy all these hours of work must be poured;
beyond just the designers ideating the structure, the construction workers (aka the actual builders) must concentrate all this energy into building, aka into materializing the design.
compare to how easily we can whip up, again, graphic design ideas and then develop them ..
or to pull from another art form, how relatively easier it is to write and produce and release and eventually perform a song you made
