Technology is changing the way we think about building design in some important ways. Here are a few ideas to think about:
Shape and Purpose: New design tools let architects create shapes that weren’t possible before. This challenges the old belief that beautiful buildings must follow strict rules about proportions.
Eco-Friendliness: New materials, like concrete that can repair itself, change how we view a building's sustainability. In the past, people often ignored how long materials last, but now that's a major focus.
3D Printing: Techniques like 3D printing allow for custom designs that fit perfectly into specific locations. This way, we move away from the idea that every building should look the same and instead celebrate unique designs that respond to their surroundings.
Smart Buildings: Buildings with technology that can sense what people need are changing how we think about what makes a space successful.
By welcoming these new technologies, the way we critique buildings is growing. We now look at how design choices can affect society today.
