+ | **Who is TAD meant for?**\\ | ||
+ | TAD in its current form (i.e. using the design component called TAD Designer Lite) is meant for architects offices -- small and medium size. Especially in developing countries. These offices typically are often in a metaphorical fire-fighting exercise daily. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Why? TAD releases a lot of time for the main designers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | //The author of TAD; Sabu Francis, had his architects practice working in such a manner. He hardly had any time for design -- but with TAD, he was sure that enough attention was being given to the designing -- and he could then delegate work to others as he went chasing clients, etc.// | ||
+ | |||
+ | TAD is actually quite minimalist and packs in a huge amount of power with very little in terms of what is demanded by the user interface. Though the UI is quite different from conventional CAD and BIM software; it is not that there are tons of features to be learned. So if you put your mind to it, TAD can be learned even in half a day. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As TAD is released as a freeware (and later on it would be open-source too) this has attracted many interested amateurs who want to have a go at architectural designing. They too are welcome -- but since TAD is so intimately tied up with the way professional architects in developing countries work, they may miss bells and whistles of a slick interface, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | However the entire ecology of TAD that is being setup will be very useful for such interested amateurs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | What were saying in sort is that TAD is not just the downloadable design software. There is a lot more. Our FAQ explains the term " | ||
