Building What Endures

Design for legacy, not applause

The final test of any design philosophy is not whether it wins awards or generates revenue — though it may do both. The test is whether it endures. Whether the principles survive the trends. Whether the work still communicates after the context changes. Legacy is not about permanence; it is about resonance. The laws in this final chapter challenge you to think beyond the project, beyond the client, beyond your career — and into the territory of what you leave behind.
