Rick analysis, resources & best practices for storing designs
The days of storing huge paper archives at an architecture firm are soon to be a thing of the past. In many ways this is an amazing advancement and testament to technology. The work that goes into archiving paper is unwieldy and high risk: from natural disasters to materials used. There are numerous legal issues with it that it adds extensive costs to architectural and design firms. Digital archiving is far more cost and materials effective - there’s no need for special storage facilities which require special lighting, hiring staff, and temperature and humidity control - but there are still risks involved. It’s important to hold digital archiving to high standards to avoid serious issues.
