Technological developments have also created great changes in the field of architecture. While digital design and production technologies change the way architects work, they also create differences in the production and construction processes of buildings. Therefore, digitalization in architecture has become an important issue for the future of the industry.
Technologies such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) enable architects to obtain faster and more accurate results while making their work easier in the design and construction processes. Thus, architects bring their creative ideas to life faster and more effectively.
Digital technologies also allow architects to create three-dimensional models. While these models offer a more realistic view of the structures, they also help architects better express their ideas. Thus, architects can achieve better results by communicating better with their clients.
Digital technologies are also used in the production process of the building. The machines used in the production of the buildings are harmonized with digital design programs. Thus, the production process of the structures is carried out faster and more accurately. Therefore, architects gain more control over the production process of structures.
The use of digital technologies in the field of architecture not only expands the boundaries of designers, but also changes the workforce dynamics in the industry. Thanks to digital technologies, most of the work can be done on the computer. This allows architects to work independently of time and place, while reducing the physical space in their offices.
However, the use of digital technologies also brings some problems in the architecture industry. In particular, the use of these technologies may result in the loss of some jobs in the industry. For this reason, those working in the architectural sector need to learn the use of digital technologies and renew themselves by using these technologies.
