Technology is transforming Architecture Human-Centered Design
Architecture is rapidly evolving as technology reshapes how spaces are imagined, designed and built. According to Tripat Girdhar, Founder of Arete Design Studio, innovation today defines architecture at its core, not just in aesthetics but in performance. Tools like Building Information Modelling (BIM) are transforming how architects, engineers and builders collaborate, offering real-time transparency and precision that prevent costly mistakes. Virtual and Augmented Reality are also making design more accessible, allowing clients to experience projects before construction even begins, creating a more collaborative design process.
At the same time, advances in environmental simulation, material science and modular construction are driving sustainability and efficiency. Architects can now design buildings that adapt to their surroundings, conserve energy and even self-repair. Girdhar believes the future of architecture will be defined by subtle, intelligent systems, structures that quietly anticipate human needs while reducing environmental impact. Despite these technological shifts, he emphasizes that architecture must remain human-centered, blending data-driven design with creativity and empathy to build spaces that truly enhance how people live and connect.
