The Impact Of Using Computer Aided Architectural Design

been a good tool to use in the world of Design? In my assignment, I will be looking at how the general use of certain software’s and digital technology has taken the world of architecture and Interior Design in another era. And how other articles and journals supports that view and don’t. At the moment, we are living in a world of advanced technology where everything is taught using digital technology, whether it be a mobile device, an iPad or a computer, in a preschool or third level facility.

Technology and Modern Architecture How has it changed the Architects’ way of thinking? Ali Alzahrani Arizona State University Imagine that everything in the life is operated by computers including people basics duties such as cooking, washing, working, or even thinking instead of the person. It could be something magnificent for some people, but others would think that technology would worsen people’s lives. Lawler (2005) writes “Technology

1. Introduction Since the 1970s, the architectural industry in Hong Kong enjoyed a brilliant growth as a result of real estate and stock market speculation. In 1996, the industry was very profit-oriented and time conscious, and heavy bureaucracy was one of the main characteristics of the market. The role of the government and others institutions such as the HKIA (Hong Kong Institute of Architects) are essential in the Hong Kong architectural industry. Anthony Ng is an architect from Hong

understanding of its purpose can be seen. Topic The project is an Architectural 3D Planner App that lets an architect display and organise their design portfolios. In the current industry of architecture there are new advances in the way current designs projects are displayed and sold to the client. This project aims to immerge many of these key mediums to create a mobile application in which an architect can showcase his or her design work to a potential client. At the end of this literature review

designed by a woman. Jeanne Gang designed the mixed-use high-rise, Aqua Tower (fig.1) for the urban setting of Chicago. Aqua Tower is the greenest and most appealing skyscraper in a place that has inspired some of the country’s greatest architecture. By using digital tools, Gang has fused traditional methods of building with an organic and sculptural façade that a few years ago would not have been achievable. As the daughter of a civil engineer, Gang developed an affinity for materials, buildings and the

era has ushered in Building Information Modelling (BIM). ▪ It is an innovative new approach to building design, construction and management which has been introduced by AUTODESK (2002). ▪ BIM have an impact on most areas of business management and operation. ▪ It changed the way industry professionals worldwide think about how technology can be applied to building design, construction and

RDBMS. SQL – Sequential Query Language. Most common RDBMS’s are My SQL, DB2, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL. The reason for using RDBMS rather than a DBMS is that DBMS stores data in the form of Files whereas RDBMS stores data in the form of Tables containing rows and columns and there exists a primary key relationship such that the data stored in multiple tables can be retrieved using SQL. As RDBMS is a relational database model, the data is stored in the tables in the form of relations. RDBMS supports

LO 1.1 Health & Safety Requirements for Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) Users. The current requirements for health and safety for CADD users who use Visual Display Units (VDUs) for their work, is specified by the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992. In this section of the assignment, I will identify some of the most common health and safety concerns and specify the steps that employers and employees need to follow in order to comply with the law and to work safely

1.0 Introduction It has been recognised that it is common to have much higher real construction costs than what was predicted at early design and plan phrase. Poor data and information management as one of the major reasons causes costoverruns has achieved $16 billion a year in US construction industry given by recent research carried out by US NIST (2004). The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) was then suggested and encouraged by many expertise which has been proved in many practical

ABSTRACT Objective Modern building and designing practices have come a long way away from traditional methodologies. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has emerged onto the forefront as a critical technology in the contemporary building design practice and construction industry (Mandhar, & Mandhar, 2013; Panuwatwanich, et. al, 2013; Abbasnejad, & Moud, 2013; Arnett & Quadrato, 2012). There are however, several gaps observed in its adoption due to gaps between the industry and academia. These gaps
