Building design is increasingly benefiting from visual learning technologies like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and digital twins. These tools address industry challenges such as cost, sustainability, and compliance by transforming abstract 2D designs into interactive 3D models. 

VR enhances the design process by detecting errors early and making it accessible to newcomers. Digital twins, dynamic models reflecting real-time data, offer insights into building performance and maintenance needs, optimising energy use and predicting failures. 

These technologies also foster collaboration among global teams and support sustainable practices by reducing waste and promoting a circular economy. 

As the industry adapts, universities prepare future innovators to leverage these advancements, ensuring ongoing progress in construction efficiency and sustainability.
