Architects frequently use CAD for their basic layouts and structural design. Like sculptors, architects can add new value and efficiency to their work with the use of advanced digital technologies. The construction industry is a new and very promising industry for the following demonstrated methods and more.
- Digitizing (scanning) small precision models for direct use as buildable data or creating the data directly on the computer.
- Detailed organic forms scanned and used for unique architectural details or even the shape of an entire building.
- New materials to make lightweight, earthquake proof homes that don’t require heavy equipment for construction.
