My Experience ** 
 * 


 * I´m Samantha Azpurua. I´m 30 years old. I was born in Margarita Island, Venezuela. I graduated as an architect at Simon Bolivar University in 2014. After completing studies in architecture I took a trip around the world, that trip was and is my inspiration to design. I have a specialition in structures and I have a Master degree in Design-Critical Practice at Goldsmiths, University of London. Also I have a PHD in Design at the same University. I am currently working in an Architectural firm in New York City with my colleague Laura Medina. Also I have a collection of furniture inspired by nature, in fact “Capuy Muebles” (a Venezuela furniture company) is using now one of my designs. **

 * <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">When you cheat and you copy an idea from an other architect or urban planer you are copying his identity. It is so false and unjust. But there is something else, you will never do the work as well as the creator, because no matter if you have all the plans at the end, the building is going to look different. The action of plagiarism must be punished and the people who do that must go to jail because it violates copyrights. **

<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 110%;"> **<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Judges in Mississippi have been part of pilot project launched by General Services Administration that is using virtual reality to design spaces. Members of GSA think that the sophisticated technology can reduce some errors before the construction. In fact they are using a 3D model to design and show a new courtroom in Jackson and this gives an opportunity to change design details before making the building real. Also this technology permits that the users can see the courtroom and suggest ideas to make the final project better. The model is not perfect, it has some problems with light simulators that do not represents shadows and highlight as well as in reality. They have to wait to see the real building and estimate the effects of this new technology. **

 * <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In my opinion this new technology can be a great solution to designs problems and permits that the client can help in the design process. But also I think that it can be a problem if the virtual reality substitutes the real building because the client will be disappointed. **

 * <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">The image that I chose is the one where you can see a room. That room has brown floor. It is like an exposition room. In there you can find an exhibition of pictures. The pictures are faces of different people. Also the room has two tables. The tables are separated by a little wall. The roof of the room is brown, it is made out of wood. There is nobody in the room. ¿Can you imagine the image is the one that I chose? **

But when we talk about details we must say that BIM is better than CAD. In contrast to CAD, BIM allows me to show textures, shadows, geography and physical space. If I had to choose one of these programs I would probably ****<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> take BIM. **

These programs are used by Engineers and Architects. Both are design programs. BIM <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 108%;">can be used to demonstrate the entire building life, including the processes of [|construction] and facility operation.However CAD can only show the structure of the building without a lot of details. BIM is a complete 3D simulator while CAD is a basic 3D simulator. **
