From atelier to e-telier: virtual design studios

When I read this article I was very surprised with its content. I didn’t now about that technology until I found the information in the magazine. The Virtual Design Studio (VDS) is a useful and interesting tool to teach and practice about architecture, design, urban planning, among others. The VDS makes the class or work more dynamic because groups of co-workers or students can work together to solve a problem or make a design all at the same time, and the participants can be anywhere with the only condition of having an internet connection.

The VDS has two modalities. The synchronous one in which all of the participants need to be connected to internet at the same time and the asynchronous one which doesn't need the participants to be connected. This feature makes the asynchronous mode lighter for the users’ computers and internet connection and it's the reason why I think it will be the VDS modality most used.
