How The Use Of Technology Is Changing Architecture

by TOPOS Architects TOPOS Architects Pte Ltd

Just like more and more jobs within our society, architects and designers have embraced technology and are beginning to fully utilise it to complement their interior designs. Whether it’s through developing interactive interiors, designing with ease through computer software, or even faster communication between clients has drastically evolved architecture from what it used to be in the past.

Technology has always played a great role within design and architecture – from the very start of architectural design. First starting with simple pen and paper, the traditional technology that architects used have progressively evolved into more advanced digital media and CAD, using Building Information Modeling (BIM), and now even utilising virtual reality to further enhance designs.

More so, technology allows for intricate and complex calculations, increasing the possibilities of architectural designs, and providing an outlet to view simulated images of designs and buildings before they are materialised. With the power to create digital environments without physically moving objects, enables accurate mapping of architectural space.

All of this empowers brands and companies to better engage with their clients and gives consumers the opportunity to express their values and personalities through their architectural interior design. Today’s architects now have the ability to focus more on innovation, as opposed to the past when designers were exerting much more of their efforts on production.

New forms of visualisation are transforming the way architects communicate their design ideas, automation changes the way our environments are constructed, and up-and-coming innovations in materials are broadening the way our architectural designs perform and function within our societies. Technology has drastically changed the way our society function, and will continue to have lasting impacts on architectural firms and designers.
