11. IT inARCHITECTURE
1)Business Functions
•for sending images, messages and files because collaboration between the
design team, engineer and construction manager.
2)Presentation Preparation
•for creation of image boards, brochures, formal reports, slideshows and other
multimedia messages.
3)Construction Documents
•Blueprints, originally drawn by hand, have largely been replaced by computer-
generated construction documents.
12. 4) 3-D Models
•architects can illustrate either segments or entire
projects for the client by creating a virtual 3-D model
on the computer.
5) Increased Information
•Computer generated designs allow the architects to
know more information about the building projects
without having to work out long and complex
problems.
