Design Tools - From 'WHAT' to 'WHICH'!
In architectural design, design tools are just like our bullets, to shoot, to kill...
Design tools are equivalent to our commonly known 'design library', including components, materials, collection of details, construction methods, even related technology.
Therefore, it is something to do with variety, knowledge, and information.
By owning all these powerful tools,
we are there, to apply the design methodology of parametric, having as much possibilities to compare, simulate, and finally to choose, the most appropriate one...
Without having our own/individual design tools,
the common question we ask:
WHAT to use?
When the (ready to be used) bullets are in our hand,
then we are there to ask:
WHICH to choose?
