 =**The Design Problem is not easy to solve. **= = = 


 * Dear Editor**:

The way you write " [|From atelier to e-telier: virtual design studios"] is shocking. The article represents an exaggerated description about the advantages offered from the VDS. I think it is a big technological advance for the communication of designers to make the desing-task eassier. But there is a problem that can be solved with the “live”comunication : the subjectivity of the design task. Artists have a subjectivity and a different vision of the world. In design, people often have to work in “work teams” and agree with the decision of the group. This is complicated to do by the VDS especially if the comunication is assyncronous. In conclusion, virtual design studios may be a great tool for designers and students of architecture; but it’s not a good way to solve all design problems.

Thanks for your atention

 In my Opinion Jerry Laiserin exposed the VDS issue as the best way to design in these technological era. But the VDS also contains a lot of disadvantages when architects have to design. The design -task shared between a work team needs the carefully atention from all the participants. If architects would design in different times and spaces, the work become most dispersed and difficult. Virtual Design Studios are an important advance in technology, but the communication by large distances becomes in problems when designers can't agree. In contrast with this, VDS aids to make this procces most eassy.However I recomend to keep disigning face to face sharing the ideas in a direct way.
