The developments in digital designing programs present a promising future for architecture. There are very few firms in the world that still rely on tiresome methods of hand drafting. The accessibility of advanced programs is ever increasing. It is my belief that the importance of ‘digital architecture’ will become more prominent in the field with the development of computer interfaces. Each year more and more innovative electronic devices are emerging and circulating. Architecture firms are more easily gaining access to 3dimensional plotters and BIM programs. Assuming this trend continues, there may be a day where architecture is entirely governed by the computer. Maybe some day the process of construction could be entirely automated. This would allow for increased cost-effectiveness and accuracy. Architect Ganapathy Mahalingam of ACADIA sheds some light on the topic: “In the early stages of their engagement of computer technology, architects approached the technology as an assistive technology that would enhance the practice of architecture. The scope of the engagement was captured in the phrase ‘computer-aided architectural design.’ In the four decades since, the role of computer technology in architecture has gained a marked significance. The future of digital tools rests on the extent to which architects can accept that exemplary architectural designs can be created in a computer-mediated environment and that digital thinking is indeed architectural thinking.” The leading architects at the moment did not have the benefit of learning architecture in a time where digital design was possible. The next generation of architects will be more inclined to implement ‘digital thinking’ due to their different schooling.
