## S.R.E.A.M.

1/4 I've been thinking a lot about sequence lately. As an architect, my focus is construction, but I’d be interested in hearing how it slots into other areas as well. 

In my opinion sequence is the single most important metric in designing buildings with budget in mind. Sequence skews our perception of both aesthetics and cost. Things that appear simple are, unavoidably, harder to build but because they look simple we lose sight of cost. 

A building is assembled from thousands of materials and products by dozens of specialized crews. Material and labor costs are linear. We can substitute cheaper products and cheaper crews, but mess with the sequence and you add an exponential cost that is hard to claw back.

I'll keep quote-casting these excellent threads on architecture, because this is just the kind of deep-dive content I'd like to see more often on Farcaster.
