Modeling and representing architectural and civil engineering works constituted a new branch at the Faculty of Architecture in 1987 making it possible to successfully apply informatics to architecture. Systematization of the methods of representing architecture through three-dimensional bodies (models) on the one hand and utilization of virtual reality on the other are today in either case the result of application of computer methods to architectural design work.The current rapid development of computing technology, software programs and instrumentation brings about new fields of application, namely in a form of design process that may fundamentally change the methodology of designing work, including preparation of construction documents, with a strong impact on construction economics. The grant topic results from the long history of model-based designing and its completed research task 028 (MODEL METHODS IN DESIGN PROCESS).
