I am looking to create a comprehensive list of technological innovations in the field of architecture but I want to make sure I am not missing anything. Any new ideas? So far, my list is as follows:
3D Modeling/Milling
Autocad
Rhino
Viz
Laser Cutting
Maya
Adobe Photoshop + creative suite
Sketchup
REG: We're giving Pilate two days to dismantle the entire apparatus of the Roman Imperialist State, and if he doesn't agree immediately, we execute her...
They've bled us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had, and not just from us, from our fathers, and from our fathers' fathers...
And what have they ever given us in return?!
XERXES: The aqueduct?
REG: What?
XERXES: The aqueduct.
REG: Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that's true. Yeah.
COMMANDO #3: And the sanitation.
LORETTA: Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?
REG: Yeah. All right. I'll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done.
MATTHIAS: And the roads.
REG: Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don't they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads--
COMMANDO: Irrigation.
XERXES: Medicine.
COMMANDO #2: Education.
REG: Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.
COMMANDO #1: And the wine.
FRANCIS: Yeah. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the Romans left. Huh.
COMMANDO: Public baths.
LORETTA: And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg.
REG: All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

good responses - technical innovations are material, constructional, and, yes, digital.
so then, before your list gets so huge that this post isn't helpful at all, would you care to narrow it to a time frame?
