In today’s world of architecture and design, computers are highly relied on. What we as humans can not do on paper, we do on the computer or the computer makes it easier. Anything from communicating, shopping, researching, and things humans cannot even do.
Communication through computers has changed they way we think and design. Sending e-mails and video chats have made design process faster and possibly more reliable in some cases. Businesses can communicate by talking and by visuals instantly with clients that could be at far distances. Designs that are hard to do by hand are made easier done on the computer.
When referring back to the article that discusses the generations of design software and the improvements that have evolved, one can only imagine what the future holds. Starting with the first generation of computer-aided design with the large touch screen and stylus, that was not very accurate. Today we rely on computer-aided design to recognize mistakes as well as figure things that humans cannot do anymore because it is so complex.
As for using computers for design in the future is a definite. Computers are part of our everyday life now with cell phones, cars, and so on. At the rate of advancing technology, we soon will see computers taking over as they are beginning to now. Computers will be able to design alone. Buildings will be above and beyond our imagination. This could be a good thing as well as a bad thing. Bad as in resulting in the lose of designers themselves if computers become “designers”.
