Virtual reality - the AEC industry’s newest design tool - is making an impact in workflows around the globe, and the use of virtual reality in architecture has steadily increased over the past few years. Check out how this British firm, BB+C Architects, is using VR in their meetings to bring 2D drawings to life and increase spatial awareness at various stages of the design process.

SCAPE is a landscape architecture and urban design firm that uses regenerative living infrastructure and new forms of public space to create positive change in communities. They focus on developing innovative designs that connect people to the environment - whether that’s urban pockets or ecological parks. Collaborating with communities and using design tools to get people excited about each project is a major part of what they do, and virtual reality is helping them do just that.

Viewpoints can guide your walkthrough by helping you determine the narrative of your building - and letting you communicate this narrative on your own terms. But you may be wondering how to put this architectural storytelling to work.

This month, we're putting the spotlight on Sneha Keshav, our UI and Brand Designer. Sneha has been at IrisVR for a little over a year and shares her thoughts on how the company’s grown, what a typical day looks like, and her summer reading list.

Today’s the day! Prospect 2.2 is here.

PART II: HOW TO IMPLEMENT VR TECHNOLOGY WITHIN YOUR FIRM

Earlier this month, we hosted a webinar with Justin Benjamin of Perkins + Will to find out how they’re operationalizing VR and increasing design efficiency. This is the second post in a two-part series that will recap and share insights on use cases for VR and implementing it within an Architecture firm.

Part I: How to Use VR in Architecture for Visual Validation, Collaboration, and Model Coordination

Design review is a crucial part of the building process, but according to recent research from Nvidia, 85% of companies believe that it’s time-consuming and often results in delays in moving the project forward. That’s why architecture firms across the globe are using new technologies - like VR - to transform how they approach design reviews and walkthroughs.
