 * Metaverse**: fictional virtual world, described in Neal Stephenson's 1992 science fiction novel //Snow Crash//, where humans, as avatars, interact with each other and software agents, in a three-dimensional space that uses the metaphor of the real world. The word //metaverse// is a portmanteau of the prefix "meta" (meaning "beyond") and "universe". Stephenson coined the term to describe a virtual reality-based successor to the Internet. Concepts similar to the Metaverse have appeared under a variety of names in the cyberpunk genre of fiction as far back as 1981 (in the novella //True Names//).[[image:http://www.learningtools.arts.ubc.ca/timwang/images/original/arts-metaverse-hastac-00.jpg width="133" height="92" align="left"]]

 * Building Information Modeling (BIM)**: Is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle. Typically it uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in building design and construction. The process produces the Building Information Model (also abbreviated BIM), which encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components.[[image:http://www.aecbytes.com/buildingthefuture/2007/BIM_Awards_Part1-images/fig8.jpg width="125" height="90" align="left"]]

 * Architecture**: Is both the process and the product of designing and constructing spaces that reflect and functional, aesthetic and environmental considerations.

A wider definition may comprise all design activity from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details and furniture). In fact, architecture today may refer to the activity of designing any kind of system.[[image:http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SIzdArrjHh8/R4HZ84zXdgI/AAAAAAAAAFk/Ma1ukVdpeaE/s400/architecture+foundation+02.jpg width="121" height="98" align="left"]]
