Smart design

Article Abstract:

Autodesk's AutoCAD Architectural Desktop Release 2 is designed to develop and maintain a single model from which all design drawing data is obtained. The software supports the Industry Foundation Classes 5.1-based project model data exchange as presented by the International Alliance for Interoperability. The program brings together conceptual design, design development and construction documentation. The first and third stages function well, but the design stage between concept and construction documentation is less impressive.

Package design

Article Abstract:

The art of designing holiday resorts must consist of including an element of sophistication to attract holiday makers, whilst ensuring the original atmosphere of the resort is not smothered. A well-designed holiday resort should strike a clear balance between needs and surroundings. The use of local materials and building methods should be encouraged to give buildings a more indigenous feel.
