For the last 18 months, Assistant Professor David Beach and senior architecture student Sam McBride have been working on a program that allows designers and clients alike to physically experience a building...before a single brick is laid.
This designing process Beach and McBride have developed is highly interactive. It focuses on making technology like this available for architects around the world. What's more, systems like this are becoming more available for consumers.

This is great... what programs do they have that link with architectural simulations?
I could see a use for this. The Facebook link is very troubling, however.
Then again, I hope these programs start to impose physicality--a good simulation should make the space feel as real as possible, not like a free flowing video game. You can already do 3D flythroughs that still feel like a video game world. The digital environment usually seems to encourage weightless, material-less blob forming.
