ABSTRACT
The introduction to this section looked at the central role of communica-
tion in the realisation of design concepts into a built form, it also sug-
gested that many channels of communication exist, depending on the
tasks involved and lastly that each channel would use a particular lan-
guage suitable to its specific function. Moving on from the theoretical
concept of communication and into the practical reality involves looking
at themethods currently in use. This examination aims to be descriptive
and evaluative, in other words critical when necessary but also approv-
ing as appropriate.
