Computing in Arch. Design Response

Computing plays a very large part in design today and its role grows every year.  The quick and efficient way that the computer deals with a design is something that people in this day and age seem to be in desperate need. Left and right buildings are springing up faster than ever and with the aid of computed design the need of new shopping centers and housing developments are at our fingertips, literally.  Although one cannot argue the fact that with the new wave of “going green” that the computer seems to be the best way to go.  Designers are no longer drafting over and over again, a method I prefer, until the design is perfect but working on a computer until perfection is met.  If mistakes are made on paper it could be quite a task to make a change, but on a computer it’s fixed with a few tick-ticks on the keyboard.

         “We humans have not changed, nor our relationships with other human beings.” (Computing in Arch. Design) This statement seems false in the way that the computer, as it says in the book, is the way co-workers communicate over their work.  It seems that doing work on the computer takes away a personal touch that some people enjoy.  People no longer feel the need to communicate through voice and this isn’t true of just the working world but the world in general.  Computers make it easy for everyone to get in touch with anyone in the world by the touch of a button.  Efficiency and ease are the ways of the future.

The future of computers in design will grow to take over many jobs of the hardworking designer.  It’s deleting jobs as are other computing devices. Maybe humans will one day become obsolete.
