360 VIRTUAL TOURS – GROWING FAVORITE AMONG DESIGNERS AND ARCHITECTS

2019 has already set an exciting stage for the VR world. A number of industries – education, health, design and military – have seen widespread application of Virtual Reality. Teachers can now take their students on virtual tours to historical sites within the comfort of their classroom; healthcare and military professionals can be trained in the use of advanced and expensive equipment without the risk of damage. Lastly, it helps design professionals to create and experience their work even before it takes physical form. Advanced technology has enabled us to usher in a new, modern world of breath-taking visualization experiences! In the field of Architect & Design , this technology has significantly improved the workflow of architects in ways that were never possible earlier. Advances in VR technology have paved the path to a better, more efficient, and faster design process. Read on to find out the seven most critical reasons why designers should adapt to this technology and...

ANIMATION IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Over the last few decades, architectural presentation has undergone major developments. With the advent of computer-aided technologies, the architect’s hand drawings have gradually given way to highly sophisticate architectural design software capable of creating these presentations through CAD (Computer Aided Design) and BIM (Building Information Modelling).   In the early years of computer technology, two major industries took advantage of this computing power. The film industry saw the potential of using computer-aided visual effects in movies to create convincingly realistic effects and sci-fi environments.   The Gaming industry saw massive potential in using computers to create a more realistic and immersive gameplay experience. It is only in recent years that the use of videos have increased in the architectural industry, due to a few factors: Reduced Costs: Early days of video production was very expensive and needed a large crew of people and equipment to produ...
The 21st century is defined by sustainability, encouraging ecological awareness and an eco-friendly lifestyle. With the rise of this go-green movement, the concept of sustainable architecture has become popular and is now commonly discussed. In the construction phase, the use of natural and organic materials, conscious recycling of construction waste and saving energy at construction sites are being implemented as part of this environmentally friendly movement. Not just limited to the construction phase, the pre-construction and design process is also imbibing sustainability through the spectrum of tools offered by visualization today.  This term sustainability is not only limited to the environment, but also concerns the efficient use of time, energy, resources and money. Keeping that in mind, there are multiple ways in which 3D visualization aids architects and designers to do their bit in being sustainable. High quality digital 3D renderings help the designer and client to sav...
