Over fifty years ago, Bob Dylan sang the words that we still know so well today, “the times, they are changing.” He was right. We’ve seen change happen all around us. Architecture looked pretty different 50, 30, and even 10 years ago. The technology powering the industry has also evolved to keep pace. First, with a move from the drafting table to the computer screen with 2D CAD, and now to Building Information Modeling (BIM) where information-rich 3D models allow architects to create in unprecedented ways. Since the beginning of BIM, architects have been able to produce high-quality renderings and walk-throughs from their design models. With the introduction of cloud-based rendering tools, high-resolution visualizations became even more accessible to architects, speeding processing power from hours to minutes and removing the barrier of costly hardware. Even in the earliest stages of design, architects have used technology to get a much more accurate view of the final product before construction.
