Summary of "Computing in Architecture Design"

Along with the unbelievable technology improvement, human beings' daily lives become easier, more convenient, and so on. For example, through emails, we can communicate each other faster and easier. Moreover, according to the article "Computing in Architectural Design" written by Yehuda Kalay, as time goes by, the importance of computation in architectural design has been increased "finding the most appropriate geometric relationships between the components of a building." Computer-aided design has been developed from sketchpad to CAD systems. Along with this development, expressing geometric shapes in architectural design became easier and possible. In addition, computers as design tools made communication quickly and efficiently to share information through the Internet between members of a design team. The industry of electronics such as computer producing companies became possibly to develop software for the architectural design field. These efforts opened more possibilities to create better designs. Even though the development of technology made design process easier, the main "CPU" of design process is a person who is operating the computer.
