Architectural Signage, Environmental Graphics, and IPD


An article about IPD, or Integrated Project Delivery, appears in the September 2009 issue of Architect magazine, and I and was struck by its relevance to architectural signage, and environmental graphics. The importance of coordinating the development of sign and environmental graphic programs with the larger overall architectural design, engineering, and general construction process is self-evident, if not easily achieved. So here is a movement within the AEC community that is focused on increasing collaboration between project team members, transparent transfer of information, and risk sharing.

How might the work we do, and the processes we utilize as EGD professionals be altered or improved as we adapt to his larger schema?

For those interested in learning more about Integrated Project Delivery, the AIA has published a 62 page IPD Guide that is available at no cost.
