Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has gradually become an indispensable tool in the field of modern architectural design. This study explores the revolutionary role of virtual reality technology in the architectural design review process. By analyzing the application cases of VR technology and its practical effects in design review, this paper mainly proposes that VR technology can not only enhance the efficiency of communication between designers and clients, but also improve the visualization effect of the design scheme and the comprehension of space. This paper begins with the limitations of the traditional process of architectural design review and reveals the challenges it faces. It then introduces the basic principles of VR technology and its specific applications in architectural design, especially the advantages in the design review stage. Case studies of actual projects are analyzed to discuss in detail how VR technology can help design teams and stakeholders understand and evaluate design solutions more directly, thus accelerating the decision-making process and reducing design modifications and rework in the construction phase. The study summarizes the current status of the application of VR technology in the field of architectural design and looks forward to its future development trend, emphasizing the importance of continuous technological innovation and multidisciplinary cooperation. This paper argues that with the continuous progress and popularization of VR technology, it will play a revolutionary role in architectural design review, completely change the traditional design review method, and promote the overall development of the construction industry.
