"Increasingly, business information is being transfered electronically via moderms
and disks... when practioners are being asked to provide
information on CAD files, example, CUSTOMIZED LAYERING SYSTEM, not only for
their consultants but also for their clients, contractors and
subcontractors," [The Architectural Institute Of British Columbia] wrote
in a report. In 1980s, when the computer industry introduced CAD as a
solution for the development, transfer and maintenance of graphic
information, this whole idea put behind, the decades of the pen and ink
technology of a pre-industrial society, to replace them with the electronic
technology of an information society all in the rush to modernize unforeseable expectations. This subsequetly
created strains into relationships between architects and their clients that can not be overlooked. "When an architect developes electronic files for a project, the base
information can be used by other parties for a variety of other uses. Report
also said... "this includes backgroung
information for consultants, promotional material, facilities management
materials, background information for shop drawings and base information for
'as built' drawings,." |
