Architectural Design Process Streamlined, Improving Building Efficiency and Accessibility
The article discusses how the time needed for designing buildings varies based on their size and type. It suggests dividing the design process into three stages: confirming the design brief, creating working drawings, and supervising the construction site. The findings show that clarifying the design brief early on is crucial, as initial sketches often shape the final design. Additionally, establishing clear communication through working drawings is important to avoid misunderstandings between designers and contractors. Lastly, designers may need to be involved in further design decisions during construction, highlighting the need for clear roles and tasks in each stage of the process.
