The use of technology in design

Home > Architecture and Design > The use of technology in design

Various technologies like Building Information Modelling (BIM) and 3D printing have become integral in architectural design and have revolutionized the industry.

Graphic Design Software: Learning to use software tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign to create designs digitally.
UI/UX Design: User interface/user experience design which involves designing interfaces of apps, web pages, software systems or other interactive products to maximize user's satisfaction.
Web Design: Learning to create websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or using website builders that leverage no-code visual interfaces.
3D Modeling: Creating three-dimensional models for different purposes such as prototyping, simulation, and entertainment.
Virtual and Augmented Reality: Designing immersive environments using virtual reality and augmented reality technologies.
Digital Marketing: Leveraging technology to advertise through different digital channels, such as social media, search engines, or email.
Data Visualization: Representing complex data in a visual manner through charts, graphs, maps, and diagrams.
Motion Design: Creating animations, videos, or illustrations that convey a message or tell a story.
Interactive Design: Designing products or software systems that allow users to interact with them, such as touchscreens, voice assistants, or chatbots.
"Building information modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of places."
"BIM is supported by various tools, technologies, and contracts."
"Building information models (BIMs) are computer files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be extracted, exchanged or networked to support decision-making regarding a built asset."
"BIM software is used by individuals, businesses, and government agencies who plan, design, construct, operate and maintain buildings and diverse physical infrastructures."
"...water, refuse, electricity, gas, communication utilities, roads, railways, bridges, ports, and tunnels."
"The concept of BIM has been in development since the 1970s."
"But it only became an agreed term in the early 2000s."
"The development of standards and the adoption of BIM has progressed at different speeds in different countries."
"Standards developed in the United Kingdom from 2007 onwards have formed the basis of the international standard ISO 19650."
