In this space, I create a house of one story just for a just-graduated couple who moves to the city looking for a job and professional development. Is a house relatively new, little equipped, that only has a room, a kitchen, a private bathroom and one more for any visitors. It has too, another room that has a kind of office, their living room only has a couch and a table, just for the moment; keep in mind that this is a just-moved in couple, without a lot of money to buy furniture, entertainment, and because of this both the living room and the corridors are empty.

This space was created for a lover of sculptures. He is dedicated to Found Object Artist. Like I said, the art is his life. He just needs a lot of space for his sculptures. He doesn't care where he sleeps or eat. The house is very quite spacious and has much light, both natural and artificial. Although he doesn't care where he sleeps or eat, I created an intimate bedroom and kitchen for basic. I used a modern style to decorate the living room and the yard because he likes to make his friends comfortable.
Working with Architectural 3D Studio was wonderful because it reduces errors and also saves time. It is very easy to use, very useful tools to create designs.

The picture that I chose is about a woman that is heading to see two mansions; she is wearing white and red top, and a blue jean. Also she is wearing black shoes. She is bald, she is thin and her skin is light. The place where she is heading has two story mansions. One mansion is bigger than the other one. The biggest one is white and the roof is red, this mansion has a very beautiful main entrance and a big garage. Also it has three balconies and approximately it has ten bedrooms. The smallest mansion is brown and seems to be far away. Both mansions have different styles and they are located at a beach and you can reach it using the pier. The landscape is decorated with beautiful palms threes, the sky is all so blue and has a very warm environment.

This building is designed to take large inflows of light, this is done by the large skylight that has been on top. Besides the building is designed to give the feeling of verticality. Which is accentuated with the gesture of stretching the volume and enhanced by the skylight that you are not placed under one roof without allowing you to feel the relationship with the sky.
It was very enriching to work with sketch up, it has a lot of tools that allows you to recreate your ideas easier and faster. I think that this tool helps a lot to design because it reduces the cost of the materials. Also with this program you can create any space that you want in few minutes and rework it many times as you want.

On the photo we see a two-story yellow house. It has four windows distributed, two on one side of the wall one at the top of the other one. The other two windows are on the other side of the wall. In the middle of the wall is the door, on top of it there is a balcony. In front of the house we see a garden with some bushes and the trunk of a tall palm tree. In front of the tree we see a hammock. There is a woman resting in the hammock.

In the picture there is a girl with a red blouse and jeans satnding up diagonal to a house. This house is built over a big plane ground. The house has two-stories, and it's made of wood. There are many windows on the second floor and a lot of plants around the house, like palm trees and bushes. On the first floor you can watch a transparent rectangular window where you can see the inside of the house. It seems that nobody lives in the house because nobody is around or in it.

Our digital figure is located in a tropical city surrounded by hills and many trees.Many buildings are located in it and each one of them have a different architectural style. They are white, yellow and brown and have many windows. The sky is above and the back looks like a sea. The vegetation is composed of palm trees,bushes and some other flowers.The trees have green, yellow and brown leaves.The hill has a lot of vegetation at the top. The space is closed with a white fence.One building resembles a Bar,is made out of wood, it has five chairs and two tables.It has a way made also of wood to go to it.The floor of it looks like sand.

This space was created for a writer who loves streamlined and spare rooms. These rooms are very spacious. Like I said, the client is a writer so she needs all the space possible for her books. I used a minimalist style to create this space linking it to the outdoors. She is very into gardening and tai chi, thats why we created 2 spaces for each one of them. I used a modern style to decorate the house and used many openings because I wanted it to be as clear as possible and invite the nature to go in. I placed 2 chimneys because I wanted to create a comfortable space to write and read.
Using Architectural 3D studio was a very exciting experience. Designing with this kind of tools is great because it reduces errors, work and time greatly. With these tools you can create a space previously designed in no time which makes the designing process more enjoyable

Architectural design for all people. I guess that is the concept of the creators of “Architect 3-D Studio”. This software makes design easier and more accessible. For example, I designed a house in few minutes and it didn’t require much effort. By the traditional way I need spent much time to do a plane. The best part of architect 3-D studio is the Frank Lloyd Wright teaching. Wright was one of the most important architects of all 20th century. You can see the hints of Wright of any issue while you are designing. Architect 3-D Studio is a good tool to introduce people into the architectural design.

I proved the Architect 3-D studio for design a house. The first step is choosing the client and location of project. Following the words of Frank Lloyd Wright, when you are designing a house, you must consider two things, the needs of people and the particulars of place. I selected a female writer as my client. She has preferences for quiet environments, and she need a big office and library. I choose a forest as location.

My design searches for create gentle conditions to elevate the creative potential of writer. I drew a floor plan with an empty space in the centre; this space will be a garden to transmit a “green atmosphere” to house’s interior. This typology is based on the Islamic traditional house. I made emphasis on the scale of office and library; I designed it bigger than other rooms. For achieve a connection between house and forest, wood is the main material of house. I think that is a good design for the writer and forest.

This is an image of Metaverse slideshow. In the image, we can see the backyard of a yellow house. The place has a lot of grass and trees. It`s a very quite and relaxing yard. In the bottom, we can see a big yellow house. It has southern style. The house has two floors of height. There are four tall white columns in front (in the image we see three columns but house should has four). The windows of house are very big and the door too. In the center, there is a woman rests in a hammock. She dresses a red blouse and blue jeans. She has black sandals. The hammock is hanging of two stakes. The hammock is made of cotton. The woman rests so quietly over the hammock. This image seems the sense of peace and stillness.

This building is based in the minimalist style. It looks like a futuristic
construction, with the minimum elements possible. The colors, grey and blue represent the simplicity of the project. The purpose of this structure isn’t define jet, is only a preview for an art exposition place, where, in
different rooms will be exposed the work of the artists.
These tools definitely make the work easiest. They are like intelligent,
because with the commands and some clicks you can build whatever you want, from a camping house, to a gym, a 30 floors building, or a soccer field. Designing with sketchup or any other digital program, is simple and quickly.

Federal judges in Mississipi have been trying to improve and define the design of a courtroom (judges benchcounsel tables, jury box, acustic, lights, etc) with the help of the technology, specifically the courtroom of Jackson, in order to avoid delays and elevated costs.

Many people are involved in this project. There are many groups that contribute with their experience looking for the problems exposed by the judges. These groups with the guide of GSA ( General Services Administration) want to show the virtual reality advance with respects to a 2D drawings and plywood muck-ups, because now it is possible to fix some issues in the design before the construction of the building.

Opinion:

I think this is a very interesting way to see what the client wants before spending time and money because it permits to improve many things oin the design and explore many possibilities. I think that virtual reality and digital modeling can be used also in other projects, but in coordination with the other traditional tools and with competent professionals.

Metaverse is a virtual parallel world on the internet. In there you can interact with other people like you do in the real and physical world. With Metaverse you can meet people around the world, create rooms to work and much more. It's a great communication tool for everybody. It can be used in any profession and have better results working on-line. It might erase any communication limit.
Architects can use this tool and create workrooms and work, in there on-line, with other architects and urban planners, they can share information with them without being together at the same time and place, meet architects in other places without having to travel to other countries, solving distance problems.
It is a good technological advance that gives many advantages to the architecture world.

Picture 8: The panorama or landscape is big in size. The landscape is full of tropical colours and vegetation. The shape of the horizon is molded by some hills. The purpose is maybe the construction of a vacation home. The length and width of the road in the picture is appropriate for low traffic. The vehicles can't develop high speed. The panorama resembles a place away from an urban center. We can see some vegetation above the hills. There is a little bush beside the palm tree. Dafne is near the road.

I tried to record in Podomatic, but ir did not work! :(

With the advances of the technology and the use of computers, a parallel world to the real one is created, that world is the metaverse, in which a person can be everything he/she has always dreamed of only using a computer.

The advances created programs like CAD and visualization, which use the technology to communicate, with images and “live” action.

The universities are using those programs to educate. They are used the study of architecture and urbanism for designing spaces with the computer without the need of making a model.

The virtual studies of the design have the potential to favor the collaboration over competition.

The interaction face to face is more direct to transport complex aspects of the architecture and the urban design.

The virtual media of the e-telier will shape a new architecture in the digital age.

THIS ARTICLE IS VERY LONG, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BRIEFER WITH RESPECTS TO THE SUBJECT. IT IS VERY INTERESTING HOW THE TECHNOLOGY HAS TAKEN THE ARCHITECT TO SUCH POINT THAT WE CAN DESIGN THROUGH COMPUTERS AND ESTABLISH A PROJECT WITHOUT THE NEED OF SPEAKING FACE TO FACE WITH OTHER PEOPLE. I AM OF THE OPINION THAT IT IS EASIER TO DESIGN IN THE TRADITIONAL WAY, TO DRAW BY HAND AND MAKE MODELS ALTHOUGH IT IS A VERY PRIMITIVE WAY TO DESIGN (I ADMIT IT) TO AT LEAST LEARN TO DESIGN, AS IT IS MY CASE, BUT I WOULD LIKE IN THE FUTURE (WHEN I AM A PROFESSIONAL) TO DESIGN AND TO BE CONNECTED WITH OTHER ARCHITECTS ON THE WEB.

The design is the core of architecture and urban planning. The design needs a space to develop a project. Nowadays with the technology available, this space can be virtual. The virtual space offers tools like: virtual dimensions and communication at different times. With the virtual design the location of the designers doesn't matter because they get connected on the internet and they can interact with other people by email or in a video conference session. The designers have tools to solve a design problem, with the virtual space the design problem can be divided among the participants, and each one is responsible for a part of the problem. Another tool of the virtual space is the communication time, this could be synchronous or asynchronous. The synchronous time needs the simultaneous presence of the designers involved in the problem and in the asynchronous time the designers can work at different times. In my opinion the virtual space is a good tool for architecture or urban planning, because it permits design in different programs through the internet, the designers can communicate with other people like critics or other designers in different times, and make 3D models before they can be constructed.

Peaceful sites could be found everywhere if people want to take a brake. They can relax in a calm place, just like Dafne is doing.
It is a calm day and Dafne is taking a brake, she is relaxing in a hammock in front of a big, yellow building. She is in the back yard of this building, from there she can see the vegetation, she feels the nature and the wind that makes a sound with the leaves of the trees.
Dafne enjoys the moment with the nature in this peaceful place.

Daf is on a hill at the sunset. There are palm trees and many shrubs. Since there, she can see two houses and a wood bridge. In front of her, there is a kind of wood cabin with two levels and square windows. On her right, there is a house of cement, it has an orange roof and arches like windows; and it is less open than the other one. Finally on her left, she has the wood bridge that let her get into the houses. She is in a really quiet and great place.

According to Jerry Laiserin in his article "From atelier to e-telier: virtual design studios" there is a new tool to study design for architecture students . This new tool is called Virtual Design Studios (VDS), it is a virtual place where students can work on a design problem together, without being on the same place or at the same time, they can receive comments from critics around the world and much more.

The design collaboration may be single-task (superposition of the views of all participants about the design problem) or multiple-task (each participant work on a particular portion of the design); and the communication may be synchronous (all the participants are working together at the same time on a design problem) or asynchronous (each participant work on a design problem but not necessarly at the same time).

The VDS is a great tool for design students around the world, and it is in fact being used in many universities like: Kumamoto University, UBC and many others in Mexico, Argentina and Chile.

Opinion: I think that VDS is a good tool for architecture students, is a different and cool way to learn, and to share comments about a design with other people around the world. With it, we can learn more having different views from many students, and it can help us have a better result in our designs.

There are many places where you can have a summer house, but in this island you can have your ideal house. It is a beautiful urbanized coast in which you can construct the house of your dreams. Little or big, modern or ancient, these houses compose this wonderful place in which you can enjoy the sea in front of your home. This neighborhood contains houses of different styles, as we can see in the photo. The house can be white or wooden and can have different stories. It is for that reason that this beautiful urbanization in front of the sea offers you the opportunity to have the house which you have always wanted.

The modern architecture allows us to make magnificent works using tools that we never imagined that they could exist.

Virtual design studios accedes to the students today to have contact with outposts tools that give them the opportunity to understand better the design and show them a great variety of possibilities and experiences to learn at the same time that introduces them in a global market.

It seems that the distance is not a problem anymore with the virtual design studies. The new architecture of the digital age grants to the students the possibility to be in contact and to make projects with any person who is anywhere in the world, synchronous or a synchronous (if it is required or not the presence of the person on-line). In addition, each participant of a project can be in charge of one part and have access too and participation in the process of the design of the whole project.

Creations like those of William Mitchell and his “Red Line” and the one of the Dr. Vásquez with his “Infinite Room” (in where an illusion is created of which spaces that are at great distances it seemed that they were in the same quarter) make us live in a new stage of the digital technology that helps us facilitate the recreation of our ideas.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that the new technology today helps us make our projects in an economic way and to be in contact with people in the whole world. This kind of programs allows us to learn more new things and they help us to introduce to us in a more global space.

Particularly there is a part of the article that catches my attention in which it says:" The catch is predicting whether VDS will isolate students from a sense of place and materiality, or if it will provide future architects the tools to reconcile communication environments and physical space ". It is true that tools like these facilitate the work to us, but they could also isolate us from the reality in which we live. Everything must have a balance but it is not possible to deny that the virtual design is a necessary instrument and of much aid.
