          "The role of 3D computer modelling in architecture:
          What is it and how will developments in related 
          applications in other fields affect its future?"
  
  I am currently using the DELPHI method of surveying to poll local
architects and computer experts on their opinions on the above
subject.
  
  I would be interested to hear thoughts and views from other people
as well.
  
  Here is a list of some questions you may like to consider:
  
        1- Should more computer modelling be encouraged in architectural
	   practices?  If so how could this be achieved?
        2- What is the future for computer modelling in architecture?
        3- What role, if any, will virtual reality have in the future for
  	   architects?
        4- What is the role of the architect in a world where people may be
  	   able to design and test their own environments?
  
  If you wish to participate in my survey, please reply by 18 May 1993
to my E-mail address with your responses to the questions.
  
  Otherwise you are welcome to express your opinions by posting them
on the bulletin board or by sending them directly to me by 11 June
1993.
  
  Thank you for your interest.
