Group A - Week 3 discussion post

In general, we believe that while this technology is already extremely useful for designers, in particular, architects, it is going to take some time to be developed among architectural engineers. We believe that initially, automative technologies will augment engineering processes in small ways to speed up the drawing phases of modeling and accelerate repetitive processes. As these technologies become more utilized by the industry, we see them being utilized for bigger new projects that have unique challenges--not for small everyday projects. In the future, perhaps these technologies can be used to help make decisions such as material choice, geometry, etc. as they relate to life-cycle costs of structures.
