Abstract

In architecture, the primary goal of a design analysis and its representation is to expose the underlying concept, organizational pattern, design characteristics, and ‘tectonics’ through simplified diagrams. Last few years there shows a distinct elevation of general mass education in graphics and audio-visual media. In contrast, the average level of understanding architectural representation is still much lower than most other visual media. The advent of computers recently has added 3D models and 3D motion models (animations) into the spectrum of representation. This study investigates the strength and limitations of conventional computer aided 3D diagrammatic modelling techniques and their related representative capabilities in the context of architectural form and space analysis. Here, National Assembly Building, Dhaka is used as a case study. The authors hope, the findings of this study will help to understand the new media and it’s significant importance in the context of architectural analysis and design teaching.
