FLORENCE, 1418

One mind held the whole building.

Florence Cathedral waited more than a century for its dome. At its heart was an opening more than 140 feet across, and no one knew how to close it. Brunelleschi designed the dome, invented the hoist that lifted its bricks, and oversaw the work for sixteen years as it rose. Intent, method and outcome came together in one mind, so the decisions he made were ones he had to live with.

The Greeks had a word for that person: architekton, the chief builder.

A CENTURY OF GOOD DECISIONS

Then projects came apart.

Specialization, licensure, delivery contracts and software each made sense on their own. Together they spread the master builder’s knowledge across 40 companies and thousands of email threads, and every gap became a question someone has to ask.
