"An architect must be able to 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦 the 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏 to the developers." IDesign Inc. An architect must 𝘦𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦 the design by reviews, inspection and mentoring. If the developers who are tasked with building the system do not understand and value the 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏, they will 𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳 it. No amount of design or code review can ever fix that 𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘺. A good 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 is not a good design  • if it's a good design in your 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅. • if it's a good design on a 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒂𝒓𝒅. • if it's a good design in a 𝒅𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕. it's only A 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 D𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏 if it was well-conceived, survived through development and ending up as working bits on a 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫 machine then it's a Good Design. Rest assured developers value the 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 and 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘴 behind the design. The level of clarity and transparency in 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 is 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 for architecture survival. #SystemDesign #Communication

Feeling tangled up trying to untie knots in your product's architecture and tech? ⚙️ Fear not, sharp managing crew, visionary directors, and pioneering founders - the key to seamless product building is understanding the intricate process of architecture creation from A to Z. Let's dive in 🚀. At the core of the design document process lie the pivotal strengths of highly qualified tech specialists and their ability to create a solid product architecture. This defines how the components of your product will interact, even specifying which nifty technologies will make it all happen. Think of those architectural diagrams as a massive assembly manual - intricate, interconnected, but once put together, a seamless and efficient system. 🌐 Key to these architectures are the interfaces, your bridges between these components. Creating powerful interfaces prevent roadblocks in later integration. Outlining rules and regulations for the delicate dance of the system's pieces - arm in arm, step by step. 💃 Consider this - sometimes hardware requirements can throw a spanner in the works. Thanks to that skilled architect touch, the hardware considerations are baked right into the architecture, making for a smooth fit, no sweat. 💪 Once the architecture is gold-standard, at that level, welcome to phase two - the magic of design documents. At this point, imagine each component as a black box, their insides shrouded in mystery, allowing them to be designed purely on their functionality. This encapsulation leverages deeper understanding, bringing to life all the intricate pieces of your product. 📦 The final whistle goes off, and there you have it - a detailed, robust, and functional architecture and design documents. But hold on a second, it's time to redo the whole match! World doesn't stand still, nor should your architecture. Keep it live, adaptive, evolving - that's the dialogue you wanted to start in the first place. 🔄 If Whip-smart Innovations Inc. went through this and lived to tell the tale, so can you! Reconstructing your architecture isn't a door shutting in your face; it's a window showing you the way forward, to better, sleeker, smarter designs. Ready? Be fluorescent and make an EZ breezy path for your product with Whip-smart Innovations Inc.! 💡🌈💪 #ProductArchitecture #DesignDocuments #StayFluorescent

Another day, another to-do list that won’t end. Sound familiar? You start with a clear plan, but by noon, you’re swamped with requests, emails, and last-minute design changes. How do you find time for actual design work? This rendering was created to help an architect reclaim hours lost to non-stop tasks by presenting a realistic visualization for clients upfront, reducing back-and-forth dramatically.

Design Thinking requires you to: * Emphatize * Define * Ideate * Prototype * Test Because of its flexible nature, it can be applied not only in product design but in almost everything - architecture, business, education, or law. Done right, it can make a huge difference in how we create products, design spaces, and build business models. In this comprehensive article, I examined 25 architecture websites that have used design thinking to showcase their work by understanding their audience's needs. So, if you're an architect or an architecture enthusiast looking for inspiration on how to better serve the needs of the people you design for, check this out: https://lnkd.in/gWm_E7Hq Photo by Danist Soh on Unsplash

"The architect is actually 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 things in one " - IDesign Inc. 1. Process Lead 2. Technical Lead 3. Design Lead It's not just about architecture. Architecture is merely 2%. To 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒆𝒅 you have to do above three. Hence, the architect 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 wear 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 Hats. Sometimes 𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 on the project, one hat is HEAVIER than the other two, but you 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 must wear all three. In fact you cannot 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒆𝒅 without wearing Three Hats. Doing each run on their 𝒐𝒘𝒏 is a form of 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞. 1. If you just do 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 but 𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 to execute it you have 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥. 2. If you have a 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 but your process is a 𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘺𝘴 then it's 𝘯𝘰𝘵 good either. 3. If you just do 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴, you'll be 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 the process but not doing anything. The 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 affect the 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 which is related to design, 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏 affects the process it's all the same actually. You must practice all three and what I find is it's a 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒖𝒎. It's called 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔. #SystemDesign #ProjectDesign #DetailDesign

You see your design clearly in your mind. Your stakeholders see something different. This gap? It's not about the quality of your design. It's about translating that vision into something everyone can understand and connect with. Here's what typically happens: ➜ Architects focus on technical excellence ➜ Stakeholders focus on experience and impact ➜ The disconnect leads to revisions, delays, and frustration The solution isn't just better visuals. It's about bridging perspectives. At Forma Studio, we don't just create architectural illustrations. We translate your vision into a story that resonates with everyone involved - from investors to end users. How? By showing not just what your design looks like, but how it feels to be there. ❓What's the biggest misunderstanding you've faced when presenting a design to investors❓

An early-stage design, won't require always great CGIs. Sometimes it's more effective a massing model, or a sketch to convey the right message (for that specific stage). During this early stage, the scope is to come up with a great architecture and a resolved design. When this is done, it's time to present it in the best possible way. How? It depends on the message, project, scope, use, customers....many different factors. Wonder what your project needs exactly? Send me a DM and we can chat about it ;)

It’s cool to have a design system. It’s cool to have an accessible design system. It’s cool to have documentation. It’s cool to have accessible documentation. It’s cool when you start accessibility before the work is underway, at conception level. It’s REALLY cool when you have all these things and are practicing them.

Architects, developers. I have a quick question for you. Do you prefer plain talk or artistic jargon with a visualization partner? I’ve seen two approaches in our industry. Some studios love using technical terms and jargon Terms like “visual balance” or “visual weight” Sounds fancy. But does it help? Then there’s the other approach. Studios that talk plainly. Simple, direct, no room for misunderstandings. They talk in ways that resonate with architects and clients alike. I think less jargon is better. We should not try to impress clients. We should get your vision across, clearly and efficiently. At The Big Picture, we focus on sharp and straightforward communication. Because in the end, it’s all about making your project shine. Possibly without a language barrier. P.S. Which style of communication do you prefer when discussing visuals? /// Hi, I'm Federico, archviz tutor and director at The Big Picture.
