Computer-aided Architectural Design Research

In the history of human development, people has been trying to design the machines which can reduce the labor burden. In the 19th century, the machines can only help people complete the physical work. The invention of the computer means that people can end the traditional working methods and use the computer to replace man's mental work. The performances of computer that are applied in all walks of life, replace manual operations, and make people's imagination into reality has proved the success of its design technology development. Computer aided design technology is now being used in more and more construction. However, because of the complexity and diversity of computer-aided design, a design can be a combination of many different technologies, so that the technical staffs in dealing with problems often do not know how to use the technology. If it is improperly used, there may be many defects hidden. So the problem that the paper need solve is how computer-aided design techniques will be applied to all walks of life better and how to achieve high-performance, high-quality design approach.Computer aided design technology brought the construction industry into the digital era. The idea of digital architectural design has emerged, but the level of the internal construction industry applying construction digital technology is not enough, which makes the working mode keep in the manual operation mode. So we must improve their industry awareness of digital technology and apply computer aided architectural design into the new design, performance, analysis and construction tools for the architectural design.The application of computer-aided architectural design makes the design no longer confined to paper as a carrier, but expands the magnetic, optical, vector as a carrier. The information capacity of these carriers has greatly been improved. The three-dimensional colorful virtual reality space technology makes design programs more clear at a glance. The application of Computer-Aided Architectural Design is the revolutionary changes of architectural design. This change changed the traditional design methods and mode of thinking, and at the same time greatly improved the efficiency of the design. In the practical application of the computer, aiming to how to combine the computer and the architectural design and how efficiently to carry out computer-aided architectural design, the paper focused on the following aspects:1, Research on new design methods for computer-aided design technology and architectural design.2, Analysis of the architectural design model, putting forward the superior characteristics and the higher design efficiency of the structure model of computer-aided architectural design.3, Research on the single application of such software as CAD, CAM, 3D-MAX transiting to integration of computer application.4, Applying the virtual reality technology into architectural design to achieve the true simulation of architectural design concept, roaming in simulated reality, transforming design from the idea to the real feelings, thereby enhancing the harmonious plane between man and computer, improving the design modification method. The designed capacity of the computer is another manifestation.5, In the actual development programs, from the perspective of computer professionals, I applied the methods that designers will never set foot in the relevant model into the designer needs, thus enabling the design work completed more efficiently.
