As an AI language model, I do not know the latest updates, but here are some ways that architects may incorporate technology into building design:
1. Building Information Modeling (BIM): BIM is a 3D modeling software that allows architects to create detailed digital models of buildings. They can simulate the building's performance, make adjustments, and create accurate construction documents.
2. Green Technology and Sustainable Material: Architects incorporate environmentally-friendly materials into building design to improve the building's efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
3. 3D Printing: 3D printing enables architects to create accurate and complex models and prototypes quickly. 3D printing allows architects to quickly develop and validate designs, test materials, and reduce time-to-market.
4. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality: Virtual and augmented reality applications are used by architects to create immersive 3D environments. Virtual reality technology enables architects to simulate the entire building design, allowing them to identify potential problems before construction begins.
5. Building Sensors: Buildings equipped with sensor technology can optimize energy usage and building performance. The Internet of Things (IoT) also allows architects to add sensors that can collect data and provide valuable insights into the building's functioning to optimize it.
6. Drones and cameras: Drones and cameras can provide an aerial view of site plans, type and placement of building materials, and other aspects of construction that can give architects an immediate, firsthand understanding, which can help them make better informed decisions.
