Computer-Aided Design and Virtual Reality in Architecture
The constant development of technology has resulted in virtual reality being included in almost every aspect of our lives. Today, the opportunities offered by technology have made many conventional methods redundant, which is especially the case in the field of architecture. The sophistication of software and hardware customised for architecture means that computer literacy and keeping a close eye on technological progress has become a prerequisite for actors in the profession. The undeniable role of computer skills in professional development also presents itself in academic environments. Virtual reality is now integrated into all areas of education while the share of computer-aided design in architecture is growing steadily. These developments bring on the need to introduce different perspectives in architectural education. Computers have made it possible for students to transform abstract thoughts in their designs into concrete data much more quickly and easily with the assistance of custom hardware and software. This study aims to bring a different perspective to architectural education by explaining how virtual reality can be employed in computer-aided designs in architectural education and the new potentials it offers. In this context, the situations created by the processes before and after the use of technology in architecture were examined in detail. As a result of the examinations, it is understood that it is necessary to follow and use the developing technology in architecture, but it should also be used in the traditional method.
