Abstract
This paper is based on the study of computer-mediated communication (CMC) making use of e-mail and video conferencing to facilitate co-operative work at a distance. Video supported contact between remote partners can permit architects, other professionals (such as the structural engineers) and on-site construction personnel, to relate to one another in real-time. Video could provide a channel of communication between remote participants and serve as an analytical tool providing a record of mediated communication. The author investigates communicative issues raised by CMC practice. The theme of "presence" emerges as crucial.
