Description
This programme looks at how computers have been used in the design of new buildings - most notably with Computer Aided Design in the production of 2D drawings. It goes on to look at recent approach...es that have involved the simulation of buildings including detailed models of the building's functions modelled in three dimensions using virtual reality. (Note: this is the cut-down edited version. The slightly longer edit FOUM596R was used for transmission.)
