To accompany the exhibition this time BIG Az W wants to analyse architect’s design tools, and explore the charged arena between traditional hand-sketching and the computer-generated rendering. How has designing improved? Do new tools, such as highly specialised computer programmes, actually lead to different architectures? What opportunities are emerging with these new architectural instruments – and is best use really being made of them? How do architects manage to transform virtual forms into reality later, undamaged by the standardising force of the building industry?

Admission free
