TAD stands for “The Architect's Desktop”

The key component inside TAD is the software for designing, a unique space based BIM (Building Information Modeler) named TAD Designer Lite.

Note: Often the term TAD and TAD Designer and TAD Designer Lite are used interchangeably. Read the FAQ on such terminologies

Mission

The highest ideal that TAD could achieve is this:

Architects can no longer remain in silos. The knowledge that we produce MUST be left behind for objective analysis and understanding by anyone concerned or affected. This can be only done if we express our work in an objectively understandable form – with least controversy of interpretations

We are only a TAD away from that ideal. We will be achieving that ideal soon enough. We need you to use our system actively, and provide us constructive feedback. Then all this will happen quite fast.

This is the documentation for TAD. Currently, the main component – TAD Designer/Lite is well documented. Documentation of other components of TAD will also be made available here.

Let us make this all real and beautiful.
