=Design Process= =Descriptive paragraph=

= This photo is about a set of buildings. This set is on the sea, it has two acces, one for cars and the other for boats. Those buildings that make up the set have between five and ten floors. The buildings are cream colour and have geometric shapes like triangles and rectangles. The rooms have panoramic balconies with ocean views. This set has indoor gardens and public areas. There are big terraces on top of thwe buildings. It looks like a vacation complex on the beach. = = = = = = media type="file" key="Description paragraphVP.wma" width="316" height="73" = = = = Comparison Paragraph = = CAD and BIM are design programs. There are similitudes and differences between them. CAD (computer aided design), you can personalice and add details to your designs, design documentation and manufacturing process. On the other hand, BIM (building information modeling), has already pre-design patterns, such as walls, windows and others. You can work with Spatial relations and properties of construction. You can work in two and three dimensions in both programs, this is a advantage, because if you know how to use one of them you can use the other one. = =CAD=

= Opinion paragraph about Metaverse =

= "From atelier to e-telier: virtual design studios " = = This is an article that discusses the different digital techniques that have been created through technology for architectural design. In this case, virtual design studios. = = This article was created given the importance of the designing while studying architecture = = Major universities in different parts of the world were studying and creating different forms of digital design, inventing certain programs and simulators so that gave the opportunity to showcase the projects in three dimensions. With the advantages of this form, architects and designers can work together online without the need to address the physical space where these projects would be implemented. Furthermore, these innovative methods allows you to display the project through a set of virtual reality slides so the client can see what this project is going to look like once finished. = = On the other hand, the fact that this new techniques are based on long-distance communication makes it difficult to achieve the same levels of effectiveness than an actual conversation. This is why both the architect and the customer have to try harder to make the communication as effective and productive as possible. = = In my opinion, I think these inventions are very important and it really pushes a part of an advanced technology that can facilitate and improve our work as architects, but, as said before, it is harder to establish an effective communication since working online will never be the same that face to face conversation. =

= Metaverse Article Summary = = Metaverse, it is a virtual space, wich is used in the case of architecture, to design, plan and create opportunities or projects that subsequently may be created in a real physical space. The advantages of "the metaverse" are: it gives to the client a ·D projection, it lowers the costs of the project investment, it allows the architects not to have to address in the physical space to design their projects. Like the benefits, "the metaverse" has disadvantages such as, the aese of working online can decentralize the design of reality, you can also create confusion and ambiguity in the way of expressing the ideas, and must know how to use the mean of communication. = ==
