From smartphones to space rockets and self-driving cars, the power of technology in this modern digital era is enormous (and practically limitless). It has impacted every aspect of our lives and will continue to open up endless possibilities that today we cannot even begin to fathom. When applied in a socially and environmentally responsible way, technology has the power to enhance productivity, communication and sustainability, enabling global communities to function efficiently, addressing people’s everyday needs and improving their quality of life. Simply put, good technology serves humanity. And just as the healthcare or manufacturing industries have taken advantage of this, the architecture, design and construction world cannot fall behind.
In recent years, the rapid evolution of BIM, AI and advanced 3D modeling software has transformed the architecture field. Costs have stabilized while their power has increased, placing them within the reach of many design professionals and challenging traditional workflows. Pushing the limits of innovation, these revolutionary technologies streamline communications, minimize errors and promote cost-efficiency. But above all, they empower architects to carry out increasingly elaborate projects –especially large-scale structures with constant traffic and various needs to respond to, such as hospitals or public transport hubs.
