It seems technology has arrived everywhere, even the arts. Architecture is one of these examples, now being fully influenced by new tools and presentation systems. But just how much has technology helped architecture as a source of information or communication? To be honest, a lot, at least to the non architects. To enhance the quality of spaces and create dramatic visual effects, architects use videos that may express  their intentions far better than a simple plan. In your opinion, do these videos help you to better understand the project?
