Architects are leveraging new technology to make them more efficient, help them collaborate with clients and partners, and ultimately create better buildings.
Good architects know that technology is critical to staying ahead. It allows them to be more efficient, collaborate with clients and partners on a global scale, and create better buildings.
But what exactly does this mean? What kinds of new technologies are architects using? And what benefits do they have for the way we live and work?

Technology is playing a bigger role in the way architects design buildings.
In recent years, technology has played a bigger role in how architects design buildings. It’s making it easier for them to collaborate with clients and partners; it’s allowing them to develop better designs faster than ever before; and it’s changing the way they present their work.
Collaboration
Technology allows architects to share plans more easily with clients and partners, which means that everyone involved in the project can see what’s happening at any time. Architects can also use digital drawing tools like SketchUp or AutoCAD® software for initial design sketches or detailed blueprints—a process that was once done on paper by hand.
Speed
The speed of technology makes it possible for an architect to create a building very quickly without having to spend months or even years working out every detail.
Using new technology allows more people to be involved in the design process, making projects more collaborative.
- Technology allows more people to be involved in the design process.
- Projects can be more collaborative and creative.
- Interactive design tools like 3D modeling and virtual reality make it easier for people to envision projects.
- The use of drones to inspect buildings and construction sites will grow.

We’ll see an increase in the use of virtual reality tools, making it easier for people to envision projects.
Virtual reality tools can help architects and clients (developers and investors) see the space in three dimensions, which is a difficult task if you’re trying to imagine it from the architectural drawings. They also make it easier for the team to stay on track with the design and collaborate as new ideas come up during construction.
With these tools, you can visualise how furniture will fit into a room or how natural light will flow through an entire building without ever stepping foot inside your project site. This allows everyone involved in planning and executing your project—from owners and investors all the way down to subcontractors—to know exactly what they’re getting into before breaking ground.

New construction techniques like 3D printing will revolutionise the industry.
3D printing will revolutionise the way architects work. In fact, it’s already being used to build houses and other structures in Dubai. 3D printing is an example of a disruptive technology that will change the way we make things—and not just houses, but everything from airplanes to clothes to medicine. As this technology develops further over time, expect more major changes in all industries.

The use of drones to inspect buildings and construction sites will grow.
Drones are a cost-effective way to inspect buildings and construction sites. From their base in Dubai, architects at Tabanlioglu Architects have created an entire drone department that helps them with everything from design to construction work.
They use drones in places like Saudi Arabia, where it’s difficult for people to access historical structures on account of safety concerns or other reasons. These drones can take images of these structures and send them back instantly so architects can make plans based on what they see without having to travel themselves (or risk losing time).

As technology helps architects become more efficient, collaborative and creative, we’ll see interesting innovations in building design.
