Abstract
Virtual prototyping is an effective design technique that consists of designing and developing a ‘virtual model’ which represents a real life scenario and allows for the gauging of the designs compliance and performance through a series of ‘virtual tests’. Virtual prototyping has been used in industries where the function and performance requirements are concise, the solution space is small, and the design process is close-knit typically involving interactions between a few wellestablished design teams. The building industry has considerably different traits and so faces a unique challenge in attempting to adopt virtual prototyping as a design technique. This paper advocates that such a technology should be applied in the design of civil engineering projects and more specifically building design. It assesses the feasibility of using what is termed ‘Incremental Virtual Prototyping’ in the design of buildings and outlines some of the challenges that its implementation might face.
