server failure

The server failure started from yesterday seems to send most of architects in my office back to the Stone Age. With the current technology, relying on computer graphic software has grown on architects and designers. The advantage of CG: efficiency and preciseness are the two major factors, which hand-drawn will never beat.

Most cases, except the very early stages, hand-drawn presentations often look like: architects run out of time, and didn’t get a chance to put them accurately in computer. Clients today are not so easy to satisfy. They demand more and more. Three dimensional simulation static images, moreover, short animation clips. Only in some circumstance, sketches are allowed to be in the presentation packages—the office server failure for example.

What can I do during this period of time without an office network? Postponing deadlines, drawing by hand, chatting with colleagues, cleaning the piles of drawings under my desk, scheduling the next business trip, day dreaming my next vacation... By the way, It might be a good opportunity to keep my friends posted about the projects I have been working on recently. Enjoy.
