title	The Impact of Information Technology on Architectural Education in the 21st Century
source	First International Conference on Critical Digital: What Matters(s)? - 18-19 April 2008, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Cambridge (USA), pp. 3-6
summary	Architecture is a technology-intensive discipline. It uses technology—both in the process of designing and in its products—to achieve certain functional, cultural, social, economic, and other goals. In turn, technology transforms the discipline. The importance of technology to the discipline and to the practice of architecture has been demonstrated again and again throughout history. In the 21st century, the advent of computer-aided design, computerassisted collaboration, construction automation, “intelligent” buildings, and “virtual” places, promise to have as much of an impact on architectural design processes and products as earlier technological advances have had. Like most other early adoptions of a technology, the first uses of computing in the service of architecture mimicked older methods: electronic drafting, modeling, and rendering. But this rather timid introduction is changing rapidly: new design and evaluation tools allow architects to imagine new building forms, more responsive (and environmentally more responsible) buildings, even radically new types of environments that blend physical with virtual space. Communication and collaboration tools allow architects, engineers, contractors, clients, and others to work much more closely than was possible before, resulting in more complex, more innovative, and more effective designs. Understanding and shaping this transformation are the basis of architectural education in the 21st century.

title	Dynamic Architectural Visualization Based On User-Centered Semantic Interoperability
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2008.406
source	Silicon + Skin: Biological Processes and Computation, [Proceedings of the 28th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) / ISBN 978-0-9789463-4-0] Minneapolis 16-19 October 2008, 406-415
summary	Technically-oriented architectural spaces today are getting complicated because the building contains a number of electronic facilities and complex structures. Furthermore, the advent of the ubiquitous environment enabled the building to provide various services to users and accelerated the importance of architectural visualization as problem-solving and communicating tools. It is recommended that architectural visualization has been more intuitive and effective to support the design decision and collaboration. In this manner, this paper intends to define the role of current architectural visualization with considerations of previous research and related works in the practical field and proposes the appropriate method of architectural visualization. Also, in order to evaluate our idea, we recommend a prototype system based on dynamic and semantic representation with the avatar. It is a kind of simulator for the design of ubiquitous smart space and can deliver to users the better comprehension in how technological oriented space will be constructed and utilized.
