The digital turn in architecture refers to the integration of digital technologies and tools in the design, construction, and implementation of buildings and other structures. This involves the use of computer-aided design (CAD) programs, 3D modeling software, building information modeling (BIM), and other advanced technologies to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability of architectural processes. The digital turn has also led to the emergence of new architectural styles, such as parametricism and generative design, which rely heavily on computational algorithms and data-driven analysis. Overall, the digital turn has transformed the field of architecture in terms of its methods, materials, and aesthetics.
