Designing for Production-
As soon we start giving a physical shape to an abstract concept, we must start considering the question of how it will be produced. Designing the structure of a tall building must be accompanied by considerations of how it is going to be erected. If the building is more than a few stories high, we cannot use ground based cranes for work on the higher levels. A design is worthless if it calls for higher accuracies than can be obtained with the machines available to the producer. A good designer always asks himself the question-
• Can this is made with the available machines and skills?
Every method of manufacture has certain strong and certain weak points. A good design utilizes the strong points of the available manufacturing methods.
