The Global Architectural Rendering Software Market is expected to grow by $971.89mn during 2021-2025, decelerating at a CAGR of 23.53% during the forecast period. — Yahoo! Finance
The new study points to an increase in urbanization and disposable income as primary factors for the anticipated growth of the global architectural rendering software market.
An October report from Dodge Data & Analytics, in partnership with design software giant Autodesk, suggested a link between the use of BIM technology and overall client satisfaction, with the added bonus of reduced errors (and attendant risk reduction), enhanced performance factors, higher design quality, and improved win rates for architects and contractors both.
The overall quality of BIM has been steadily improving since first being introduced to the market in the early 1980s. Recently the technology has been integrated into areas like resilient design and metaverse construction, which offers a great deal of potential to younger designers looking to make their highly-valuable skills remunerate in an otherwise top-down economic environment.

An Autodesk-sponsored report eh.
That said, I'm curious how the market for easy to use, web-based, free modeling/rendering software might change if more folks without design experience want to make their own 3D assets. Similiar to how Minecraft gained so many followers. In a digital world without budget or gravity, anyone can be an "architect".
I thought it was boom, as in gone! disappointed
But what about web3-based buildings? https://twitter.com/voeliz/sta...
Some interesting points there. I'm irritated the author doesn't expand on the first section "Equity for builders", closing out that paragraph with a mere "I suspect web3 mechanisms can help." How???? Where does the developer fit into the equation and what are the incentives for them (and their financiers) to let the AEC trades share in the building's financial success? WeWork in its previous incarnation was supposed to show how successful design (as measured by the number of subscribers - a debatable metric) could have immediate dollar payoffs form the designer/operator but its hardly a good example these days.
The other intriguing point that keeps showing up in different articles is the idea that blockchain tech can help improve collaboration between AEC actors. How would that work in practice? Say, collaboration between different trades, to use a common and staid example.
"Apart from minimising the interfaces between Design and Construction, Blockchain technology can contribute to improving both in isolation. First, blockchain can facilitate Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) and Computational Design in general, by enabling transparent information flows. Second, blockchain technology could nicely complement information and change management in Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems, both authoring and managing tools. Thereafter, leveraging smart contracts and trusting environments, blockchain technology can improve Supply Chain Management and logistics control."
I'd like to learn more but phrases like "minimising the interfaces between Design and Construction" and "authoring and managing tools" seem pretty vague for now even though they are supposed to describe how exactly blockchain can help remedy the situation. Concrete examples in practice would be great - I've read about tracking product data from raw material to finished assembly and that was a good example of how newfangled tech can help facilitate data flow. Though it still doesn't bring anything fundamentally new to the table.
