How has design changed?

Answer 1

Design has not really changed. It has always been a difficult creative activity. Modern technology, especially computers have changed completely the way designs are considered, recorded and communicated to the constructors.

Computer modelling enables lots of alternative designs to be considered and compared easily.

Computer drawing aids enable good drawings and pictures of the finished items to be produced.

This is true whether a skyscraper, wallpaper or a road scheme is being designed.
