Computing in Architecture

In today’s modern world, our lifestyle is fast, efficient and evolving all because of computers. It has taken a hold in ever aspect of life. From everyday schooling to your grocery story, the computer is what keeps us organized and on top of things. The design world is no different. Computers have recently taken the place of pencil and paper, and will continue to do so because of the time saving ability and the convenient qualities it offers. Each building requires so much detail, and with that it becomes much more than a hassle to keep them on paper. Therefore like other aspects of life, the computer steps in to help create short cuts and offer different views to a project then ever thought possible.
For example, some design colleges have recent taken design in computing to the next level offering 3-D tours of buildings that have yet to be built. This enables the person to get an actual sense of the building without ever hammering a nail. That’s only one of many programs that help designers today see a project without ever constructing it. In the future a computer could only help the process of the design world. With all the technologies that are at hand, it can only go further, and the computer will most definitely be along for the ride.
