Architectural model – Communication between the designer and the beneficiary

One commonly used architectural model for communication between the designer and beneficiary is the “V-model.” This model describes the iterative process of designing and implementing a system or building, with each stage of the process having a corresponding testing and verification phase.

The V-model begins with requirements gathering and analysis, where the designer works closely with the beneficiary to understand their needs and desires for the project. This stage involves a lot of communication, including discussions, meetings, and presentations to ensure that the designer has a clear understanding of the beneficiary’s requirements.

The next stage is design, where the designer creates detailed plans and drawings of the system or building. The beneficiary is involved in this stage as well, providing feedback on the design and ensuring that it meets their requirements. Communication during this stage is critical to ensure that the design meets the beneficiary’s needs and desires.

The implementation stage involves building or constructing the system or building according to the design specifications. Testing and verification occur throughout this stage to ensure that the implementation is consistent with the design and meets the beneficiary’s requirements.

The final stage is deployment, where the system or building is put into use. This stage involves further testing and verification to ensure that the system or building performs as expected and meets the beneficiary’s needs.

Throughout the V-model process, communication between the designer and beneficiary is crucial. The beneficiary must be kept informed of the progress of the project and be given opportunities to provide feedback and make changes as needed. The designer must be able to communicate clearly and effectively to ensure that the beneficiary’s requirements are met and that the final product is satisfactory.
