In what capacity do you see these designs? Do architects share plans around amongst themselves, or is something else happening?
I tend to see it through a variety of ways. Most of the time, work (or plans) is just sort of passed around internally between us, asking for criticisms or suggestions. I've got a lot of colleagues working with different developers, architecture firms, interior designers, artists etc who I'm able to ask. At times I'm asked to help out with certain things, so people send me a bunch of files to play around with and I can see things that way too. It's always shared to cities/regions and since I have a lot of contacts who work in planning departments in different places in Ontario and abroad, I can reach out and get some info before it's shared with the community at large. Obviously respect for their work and confidentiality means I can't just go post it all online, as much as I would love to sometimes!
