Architect’s computer applications in professional practice – How architecture education is complying to the needs of the market

For the past 15 years, the architecture world has been supported greatly by the usage of Computer Aided Design (CAD) application, be it as a drafting tool or a design counterpart. Due to this, more and more CAD application tools have been developed and created to accommodate the demands of the mark...
