| summary |
The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) and
the World Wide Web (WWW) offer new opportunities to communicate an architect’s design intent throughout the design process. We have investigated the use
of VRML in the production and communication of construction documents, the final phase of architectural building design. A prototype, experimental Web site was set
up and used to disseminate design data as VRML models and HTML text to the design client, contractor, and
fabricators. In this paper, we discuss the way our construction
documents were developed in VRML, the issues we faced
implementing it, and critical feedback from the users of
the Web space/site. We analyze the usefulness of VRML
as a communication tool for the design and construction
industries. Finally, we discuss technical, social, and
legal issues the AEC industry faces as it shifts to embrace widespread use of a “paperless” Web-based
communications infrastructure for design documentation.
