The discipline of architecture has undergone considerable change, primarily driven by advancements in the application of technology. Architects, long viewed as the futurists of the constructed world, are now utilizing progressive techniques and resources and expanding the use cases of technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). This transition extends beyond professional practices into architectural education, bringing opportunities to redefine the approach of architects toward their craft.
Advancements in computer technologies have enabled architects to model their designs with precision and detail. Augmented reality technologies have helped the industry leap ahead, giving practitioners the ability to visually and spatially prototype designs and integrate them into the physical environment. The potential impact of these technologies on architectural education is a subject of rising interest.
