The Shortcoming of the Office
Coordination Method
·Firstly, the method
is irreversible, so that, architects can not get enough feedback from the
other participants in the office.
·The project team is
still dependent on the traditional communication method in communicating
design changes.
·Architectural
information prepared by the use of computers cannot be utilized efficiently
and dynamically by the rest of the team.
·When major changes
occur, base-plans are copied on computer diskettes and redistributed to the
rest of the team. Since this is a
costly and time consuming process, minor changes are propagated in the
traditional way (verbally or by sending memos and sketches) which may be
ignored.
