Just as anyone with a few reams of paper can write a novel, an architect
with some paper and drafting tools can design a building.

But just as a writer who wants to see his work widely disseminated typically 
needs to find a financial backer to print and distribute, an architect needs 
a backer to build the building.

Just as you can write a great book that never gets published, you can
design a great building that never gets built.  So at what point is
the writer's (or archtect's work done)?
