Managing an interior design project requires as much creative thought-
fulness as the design itself, and the best projects begin with a carefully
planned project schedule. Typically, a project process is broken down into
distinct phases to establish decision-making milestones, both within the
design team and with the client. At the beginning of the design process,
innumerable options present themselves, but as the design progresses,
the number of options gradually reduces as the project gels around spe-
cic themes and congurations.
Drawings are the primary format through which design choices are ex-
plored and communicated. The mode of drawing changes as the project
is rened and nessed. At the beginning of the design, freehand sketch-
es are the best way to test concepts, while later in the process compu-
ter-aided design (CAD) is necessary to ne-tune dimensional decisions
and coordinate with consulting engineers. New technologies are mak-
ing it easier to explore design concepts in three dimensions at several
stages of the design process.
