Through the distillation of the architectural production process efficiencies can be achieved giving the designer a greater degree of control over the end product. Decreasing the distance from the designers hand to the end product is part of the approach to design.  Strategies are architectural in nature but draw on the fields of real estate development, marketing, computation, as well as those traditionally associated with craftsmen. Be it the development of a grammar, working through the critical path or the molding of a piece of clay, there is a moment when ones response to the problem is no longer the action but the reaction. Ultimately the designer is able to answer to a design problem due to the conceptual proximity to each layer of production.
