| summary |
The traditional emphasis of architectural education and practice on spatial
visualization has contributed to the development of an overtly visual architectural
culture which agrees with our predominantly visual interaction with the built
environment. The democratization of computer technologies is changing
architectural visualization in two significant ways. The first is that the availability of
affordable, powerful digital versions of analogue visual media and of new,
complementary techniques is facilitating the application of computer visualization in
most aspects of the design and management of the built environment. The second
is the opening of a wide and exciting new market for visualization in information
systems, for example through interfaces that employ spatial metaphors, which
arguably are extensions of the three dimensional structures the architect knows
better than other design specialists of today. The transition from analogue to digital visualization poses questions that
encompass the traditional investigation of relationships between geometric
representations and built form, as well as issues such as a unified theory of
architectural representation, the relationships between analysis and visualization
and the role of abstraction in the structure of a representation. In addition to
theoretical investigations, the utilization of new possibilities in architectural
visualization requires technology and knowledge transfer from areas other than
computer science. The integration of such transfers suggests flexible, modular
approach which contradicts the holistic, integral principles of computer-aided
architectural design. |
