Abstract

This paper examines the integration of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies in architectural design and building systems. It explores their evolution, benefits, and limitations, citing case studies like the One World Trade Center. VR and AR are shown to enhance collaboration, visualization, and decision-making in design. However, challenges such as hardware limitations and content creation complexity persist. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for ongoing innovation and collaboration in leveraging VR and AR to shape the future of architectural practice. Overall, it offers valuable insights into the transformative potential of these technologies in building design.
