So straight after the images comes the need for words.<br />But I agree those words are probably not in technical depth. I don't think that is a problem since research shows that image-dominated websites are not the only source of information that architects have. There is nothing wrong with eating cake, as long as you eat other things too (well, OK, the image-dominated sites are probably better for you than cake, but you know what I mean).

I find it hard to believe that would be true, or maybe he's six months behind the skill shortage ;-)<br /><br />The problem with image dominated websites is that they have no technical depth. There is a common perception that architects are only interested in the aesthetics, but lets face it, they won't be able to replicate a detail if they can't work out how it works. <br /><br />So I'd put in a plea not only for more words, but also for more information...Su Butcherhttp://www.justpractising.comnoreply@blogger.com
