In the publishing industry, as with all industries,
communication is key. It needs to be open and flowing continually
between publishers and editors, editors and writers
and-especially-writers and their sources. When communication breaks
down, things get a little crazy. And no one likes to be in a
situation where they don't know what is going on, who's supposed to
do what and what the final outcome will be. From start to finish on
an issue, there is a ton of information that comes together every
month. This information is checked, double checked and even triple
checked by multiple people to ensure that no mistakes happen.
Everyone knows that when an error is made, everyone sees that
instead of the thousands of other things that were done correctly.
The same is true in your business.
In the architectural industry, it is especially important to
keep open communication lines between the architect, contractors,
suppliers, manufacturers and more. One way to do that is through
architectural software that helps architects communicate
effectively with contractors and engineers. To learn how software
is making communication easier for everyone involved in a project,

One project in which communication was key and architectural
software aided in the process is the new addition to the ZAHNER
headquarters in Kansas City, Mo. Click here to learn more about this
very unique project.
Also in this issue, read about how a 40-acre
college campus south of Atlanta that has been vacant since 1986 has
been has been transformed into the headquarters and training
academy for the Georgia Department of Corrections. And don't forget
to check out the article on designing a
building with daylighting in mind, straight from the manufacturers
themselves.
