With the advances of the technology and the use of computers, a parallel world to the real one is created, that world is the metaverse, in which a person can be everything he/she has always dreamed of only using a computer.
The advances created programs like CAD and visualization, which use the technology to communicate, with images and “live” action.
The universities are using those programs to educate. They are used the study of architecture and urbanism for designing spaces with the computer without the need of making a model.
The virtual studies of the design have the potential to favor the collaboration over competition.
The interaction face to face is more direct to transport complex aspects of the architecture and the urban design.
The virtual media of the e-telier will shape a new architecture in the digital age.

THIS ARTICLE IS VERY LONG, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BRIEFER WITH RESPECTS TO THE SUBJECT. IT IS VERY INTERESTING HOW THE TECHNOLOGY HAS TAKEN THE ARCHITECT TO SUCH POINT THAT WE CAN DESIGN THROUGH COMPUTERS AND ESTABLISH A PROJECT WITHOUT THE NEED OF SPEAKING FACE TO FACE WITH OTHER PEOPLE. I AM OF THE OPINION THAT IT IS EASIER TO DESIGN IN THE TRADITIONAL WAY, TO DRAW BY HAND AND MAKE MODELS ALTHOUGH IT IS A VERY PRIMITIVE WAY TO DESIGN (I ADMIT IT) TO AT LEAST LEARN TO DESIGN, AS IT IS MY CASE, BUT I WOULD LIKE IN THE FUTURE (WHEN I AM A PROFESSIONAL) TO DESIGN AND TO BE CONNECTED WITH OTHER ARCHITECTS ON THE WEB.
