Archi-project

An ultra-simple organization system (based on Hamster-folder) polished to meet the needs of architects.

Core values

• Easy learning curve for newbies: a macro understanding of the project should be easy to grasp.
• Progressive: every project is different so folder structure¹ is not fixed. However, complexity - when needed - will grow in a predictable way.

So, how can you start organizing your project?

• Folders structure
• File naming
• Layers

Folders structure

#project @phase -specific folder

• project: #

    Example: #house in lisbon
  

• phase: @

    Inside projects you have project phases:
    Example: @license
  

• folder: -

    Inside phases you have specific folders:
    Example: -sections
