The Roadblocks: Challenges Architects Face with Visualizers During Competitions
While the end goal is enticing, the journey is often riddled with hurdles, particularly when collaborating with visualizers during competitions. Here are some challenges architects commonly face:
Punctuality and Constant Work Progress: Competitions are time-sensitive, making deadlines critical. Inconsistent progress could lead to poor-quality work or missed submission dates.
Providing Feedback on Each Visual: Visualizers need clear, consistent feedback to align their work with the architect's vision, a process that can be time-consuming and difficult to manage.
Quality Control of Created Visualizations: Ensuring high-quality output amidst tight deadlines can be a daunting task.
Collating Everything on a Summary Board: Before sending to the printing house, it's essential to compile all visualizations, requiring meticulous attention to detail and organization.
Our Solution: Harnessing Miro for Seamless Studio Collaboration
In response to these challenges, we present our solution - a visual board using Miro. Miro is an online collaborative whiteboard platform that allows for real-time collaboration, project management, and visualization. It can help in:
Tracking project timelines and progress.
Streamlining the feedback process and ensuring all team members are on the same page at the same time.
Facilitating quality checks and revisions.
Organizing visuals in a comprehensive manner before printing.
We work in Miro with allows us to communicate with the team more precisely.
It's a great tool to create visuals in remote work.
