While out topic is not necessarily controversial, there were still differing opinions within the architecture community about its past and future direction. Professor and head researcher at the at the University of Strathclyde Ashraf Salama predicts that the future of architecture will be drastically different: newer technologies like AI and Quantum Computing are continuing to be developed and will be an integral part of the future or architectural design. These changes, as Professor Salama describes, will have effects on the ways that architects design, plan, and bring their vision to life. While the bounds in technology have no doubt changed the approaches to architectural design, some have reservations about its implementation. In an article published by the MIT press, Roderick Lawrence explains the shortcomings of 3D renderings and their ability to fully convey an idea, as well as the possibility that use of CAD programs can stint creativity in the early stages of design. Typically, any conflict over the development in architecture has to do with the extent to which new technologies are used rather than the question of using them at all, as the amount of time saved and ease of communication due to these new developments is invaluable. The general consensus is that the implementation of tools like CAD and 3D rendering programs greatly increases the efficiency and accuracy of architectural design, but architects must be wary to not lean on them too heavily as they could have negative effects on the final product.
