Presents a complete and updated overview of virtual prototypes. Develops the future of information and communication technologies for the construction industry. Explains that in architecture and construction, three dimensional, computer-aided design systems help in the design process. Show that the advantages of virtual prototypes of buildings include the fact that they can be used for design documentation, are easy to change, and allow virtual experiments. Contains a case study and diagrams.
