Abstract

There has been little recent research on the take up of electronic information sources (as distinct from CAD/CAM) by architects. Profitable use of appropriate information by individuals shows scope for the future. Preliminary research here shows the extent of information use has to be considered in relation to size of firm and factors covering organisation, function and process.These, and other complications,will be addressed in the remlining phases of this research proiect.
