The development and application of BIM and virtual reality technology in the field of architectural design in the information age

Abstract With the continuous development of modern information systems and computer network technology, digital building technology and virtual reality technology have emerged. In the field of architectural design, BIM technology and virtual reality technology have changed the traditional architectural design methods. They can effectively improve the efficiency of architectural design and the overall effect of architectural design. The article aims to provide a reference for the sustainable development of my country’s architectural design through the elaboration of the status quo of the development of digital building technology and virtual reality technology in the field of architectural design, the analysis of its advantages in the field of architecture, and the discussion of its application in the field of architectural design.
