In Virtual Architecture the authors discuss and illustrate the wide range of programs, including AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, 3D Studio, Raydream, Reflex and Pro-Engineer, among many others, now available to architects and building engineers. These programs play an important role in the design process and in presentation. The range of techniques available today goes from two-dimensional to three-dimensional design, to accurate colour rendering and radiosity for lighting effects, and now on to video and animation. Beyond formal CAD, the world of virtual reality offers architects further opportunities both for speculative 'design in cyberspace' and for the interactive simulation of unbuilt space.
Virtual Architecture shows how the new generation of computer programs can empower architects in the creative process, and looks at the exciting future for architecture through computing. The book is illustrated throughout with the best examples of contemporary work.
