Design requires coordination of several competing trades, building codes, standards, materials, functionality, and details.
Three-dimensional modeling enables the team, engineers and clients to visualize the space, find conflicts, highlight areas that require further definition and, ultimately, balance all aspects of the project into a cohesive architecturally sound project using elements and principles of design.
- Architectural elements of design

- Value
- Architectural principles of design
- Balance
- Contrast
- Emphasis
- Movement
- Proportion and Scale
