Traditional architectural workflows can be slow, fragmentary, and opaque. Clients wait for presentations, react to static drawings, and hope their feedback survived the translation into construction documents. Mythodium developed a better way - the Immediate Interactive Design Process (IIDP™) - with the the philosophy: design with people, in real time.
The core problem IIDP solves
Design mistakes are expensive. Misunderstandings, late scope changes, and unexpected cost overruns are common when the client’s input isn’t integrated continuously. IIDP eliminates those gaps by making the design a live, editable document.
How IIDP works (practically)
Weekly sessions: designers meet with stakeholders in person or via video.
Live editing: the team modifies the 3D model while the group decides - ceiling heights, finishes, seating layouts, etc.
Instant documentation: every decision is recorded in the model and exported as current documentation.
- Cost feedback: adjustments can be tied to live cost updates so trade-offs are visible immediately.
Why clients love it
Clients leave each session with confidence rather than guesswork. Fundraising committees understand the design faster; contractors receive clearer instructions; the client’s vision is less likely to be lost during handoff. The result: fewer surprises, faster progress, and better alignment.
When to use IIDP
IIDP is especially valuable for projects requiring high alignment - sacred spaces, themed attractions, or any build where story and detail matter. When you must get the feel right before committing resources, real-time design is the fastest, safest path to clarity.
