Architectural Designs

Architectural design is a team-working process. There is always a client and there is always an interpreter who that client needs. The relationship between client and architectural designer is fundamental, and the establishment of a professional and trusting relationship between the two is the basis of every successful project.

Creating architectural designs involves creativity and beauty, science and design engineering, values and beliefs, friendship and teamwork. It is one of life's most rewarding activities, bringing together a wide range of personalities, skills, and expertise. It is an adventure for clients and the architectural designer and their team.

It is important to place that adventure within a sound organizational and contractual framework so that procedural complications do not derail the principal activity. A simple, clear, legally-defined understanding of what is involved will benefit the whole process, avoid conflict, and help clarify the interrelationships and responsibilities of all the partners involved in commissioning, designing, and building a project, large or small.
