At my internship there are multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary operations happening on a day-to-day basis. History, art, computers and communication are all separate fields of expertise but are combined in a multidisciplinary manner in order to execute solutions to design challenges and the daily operations of a business. The lead designer must know his history of design and the place in which he is designing for in order to create a functional space that meets the clients needs as well as fit into its surroundings. To convey the design to the clients, the designer must draw sketches to allow the client to see the vision. If the client cannot make sense of a sketch he or she will feel as if their needs are not being met and can choose to work with other designers for the project. Once the sketches are well received and agreed upon, the lead designer then translates the sketches into a computer program, CAD (computer aided drafting), which allows builders and engineers to see the fine details that the clients does not necessarily need to see or for that matter even understand. Communication is key during the entire process of executing a design. Communication between the client and designer: client stating the needs, architect understanding those needs and incorporating them into a design. Architect and the computer aided drafting person need to be able to communicate fine details such as specific heights, elevations, major and minor details. It is also important for the computer-aided drafts to be understandable for the builders, engineers, and other workers. So, through the combination of these separate branches of expertise, the architect is able to make the client happy. The architect operates in an interdisciplinary manner due to the fact that he is combining these multidisciplinary aspects into his job- architecture and communication.
