With new technology and standards of design, architects adapt to a new culture and process, which changes many things. For instance, if BIM reduces the amount of time on the concept design and estimate of cost, it reduces cumulative hourly charges. But how do we amount or translate information into cash? Does the architectural design profession need to be reevaluated and given more credit for the work involved?
It also prompts more collaboration and communication with consultants. Healthier relationships need to be built with structural and mechanical engineers for less mistakes and wasted time on unnecessary changes.
Technology has been criticized for breaking off human interaction, causing ambiguity in communication, and promoting laziness. If used properly and responsibly, it may just be the answer to making architecture a fully integrated, progressive, and more respected practice.
