1 Design skills Computer aided design (CAD)

2 As illustrated through the Aquatics Centre by Zaha Hadid Architects. Inspired by Design © Zaha Hadid Architects

3 Architects often study their initial concepts on CAD, especially if the structure is a unique form and drawing by hand would be complicated. © Zaha Hadid Architects Inspired by Design

4 Architects use CAD to develop design concepts and to refine their design ideas. Inspired by Design © Zaha Hadid Architects

5 CAD software is also used to produce construction and detail drawings which explain the arrangement of the building. Inspired by Design © Zaha Hadid Architects

6 Working on CAD, architects can carry out structural analysis with engineers and other consultants on a project. © Zaha Hadid Architects and ARUP Inspired by Design

7 Rendered 3D visualisations of a building’s interior can help clients understand how the spaces will look and feel. Inspired by Design

8 Computer generated 3D models and renders help communicate the architects’ ideas to built reality. Inspired by Design © Zaha Hadid Architects

9 Including context such as neighbouring buildings, trees and people helps communicate how a new building will look. Inspired by Design © Zaha Hadid Architects

10 Your turn Think about how you could make better use of ICT drawing packages and CAD software to present your work – you get started by downloading Google SketchUp for free. http://sketchup.google.com/ For further information on the Aquatics Centre see the Get Set Construction Kit: http://getset.london2012.com/ www.architecture.com/inspiredbydesign
