Wind Tunnel in Vasari

When I was a student, 3D modeling and rendering on the computer was an advanced skill. I only managed to create my first rendering in the 4th-year project.  Then, it became a special talent for designers, even opening a freelance business. However, that came to an end when that technology expanded, reaching everybody. Ten years ago, different ecological analysis methods on geometric designs were also another specialized field that everybody doesn’t have access to. Now it seems those technical skills are becoming more and more user-friendly, and free. Although it’s said that these analysis methods are not that scientific yet (for example, the wind tunnel analysis here says it’s only introductory), I think these capabilities will be a major step for reaching design communities, especially at the conceptual massing stage. From an educational perspective, this is also a potential for us to integrate contemporary design tools into undergraduate education.
