__Descriptive paragraph__ The girl with the red t-shirt in this picture looks like she's flying, looking everything from above. The house that is nearest to her is bigger and has a beige color; the other one, next to it, is brown and looks like a beach house inside the sea, because the shape of the roof, looks like a hut made with straw. Both houses are located next to the sea so they have many windows and balconies, to enjoy the view.

The reading is about a new way of showing constructions and not with the current method, which are models, but a way to show them in 3D, in a semicircular screen, instead of making the models in wood and cardboard, they are made in computers and showed in a virtual way. You can see the materials, the visual angles, illumination and other important aspects. The only problem is the cost, because working in such a big screen must be very expensive, as much as it is not mentioned in the reading. 

 __Metaverse Paragraph__ In my opinion, this new technology, Virtual reality and digital modeling that consist in create 3D models of future projects, works the most for the materials and the illumination. You can see which type of wood is on the floor, a specific design of a window, the color of the walls, and so on. Illumination also helps you feel inside the space, even if it is in a room or outside, it make you think that is real. Eather way physical models made with cardboard, wood, glue, should always be done because that is the way you can appreciate even more spaces, dimensions and spatiality, including natural illumination that can't be imitate by the artificial.

__Comparison and contrast__

 CAD is similar to BIM because they both are digital programs that make easier the drawing and presentation process of an architectural project.

CAD (Computer Aided Design) is a tool that designers and engineers use to make plans and drawings in 2D. This program allows you to put as many details as possible, on the other hand using BIM (Building Information Model) you can create better graphics in 3D, because this BIM illustration is an expansion of the 2D drawing, it reached all the potential of the construction, and also allows you to create a video showing the building as it is even before it is constructed, appearing textures, furniture, sound, and lights, making a loyal copy of the reality.
