METAVERSE

Descriptive Paragraph

In this slide (number 4), part of a little town can be seen. This place is near the beach and has a tropical climate. There are many commercial spots like hotels, restaurants and many others.

This site it´s so important because it has train tracks and cycle ways. Besides it has wide pedestrian walkways.

This image shows the interesting and functional lighting system that this small part of the street has.

In this location there are many residential buildings, so there is much pedestrian flow all day.

Article Summary

The possibility of using new design and representation technologies to build federal courtrooms is being studied in the USA. The reason is to test acoustic, visibility, illumination, accessibility and room’s design before building the project.

Concept of the idea is to use 3D technologies and other programs like AutoCAD for the elaboration of virtual rooms with the ability to simulate actual trials.

These developments in technology applied to architecture and construction allow to save a lot money and time, because is it not necessary making a model or waiting until the building has been built to make tests.

Nowadays, there are cameras or simulators which allow studying the objectives before room’s construction.

Although representations aren’t 100% exact, are so useful and offer best results that a model.

I totally agree with new technologies to design and represent, only not federal courtroom, but also any project.
 * Opinion**

This solution is cheaper and allows having a precise idea of the final result before building builds and rooms.

It’s so important to amplify these tools to apply in any design with any use.

Opinion Paragrapah

Metaverse or virtual life is technological advance that allow users to have a second life. In this life, persons can to be different persons, if they wish it, with new appearance, professions and personalities.

Metaverse has other functions; in this universe also is possible to work like real life, to offer services and to receive money for that from many people around the world across internet.

In the architecture and design`s area, this tool is so useful and interesting, because is possible to design architectural works and them build it, besides, to receive money for that.

In Metaverse, also are companies` representations, premises or ateliers that offer these services of real way but in the virtual world. For that, this is a important tool to develop and to promote the companies` services.

Another function is to review designs and other aspects of architectural works, this test can be used to build buildings in the real life, because some problems, like illumination and acoustic, are solve in this virtual models and allow to save a lot money because it`s not necessary to make a mock-up or to wait to build to see the final result.

Summarizing, this virtual universe offer to user many possibilities and functions that help to upgrade, in many areas, the activities in the real world, besides offer entertainment to all of you.

Comparison and Constrast Paragraph (CAD vs. BIM)

The design program CAD (Computer Aided Design) & BIM (Building Information Modeling), are computer programs to help design and visualize new architectural projects, and many others. Both programs allow the creation and modeling on different views and perspectives of the building, in this case CAD is similar to BIM.

A big difference between these programs is that in CAD, any modification to be applied in any plan should be applied in the rest of the planes to update the project; that creates many documents for the same project. Different from BIM, the changes that are made in any plan are applied automatically in the whole project.

In BIM & CAD, it is possible to work with physical elements (walls, stairs, windows), instead of geometric elements. This allows for a projection of prices, measurements and report of the projects.
