Architecture - Then and Now


Another area that has improved with the advancement of technology, art, and design is architecture. This field possesses programs and artists that can essentially design and build an entire skyscraper building down to the last bolt and provide a detailed visual experience before the area where it is supposed to be built is even surveyed. These highly realistic 3D renders gives the viewer complete walkthroughs of whatever is being constructed. Drafts and blueprints are still required as well as thumbnail drawings in order to complete and design in the third dimension. The following link gives you an idea of 3D architecture and the amount of realism that is involved:

Before this luxury of 3D architectural design, architecture and drafting was limited to blueprints, thumbnail sketches of what the finished product would look like, as well as physically built models. Without the innovation of this new technology we would not be able to expand the realm of digital art into the world of architecture.
