dc.description.abstractThe direct influence of computers is now universal. Computers are used in applications as diverse as running a farm, diagnosing a disease, designing and other life endeavours. Architecture is a course that cannot be left out in this global struggle to attain greater efficiency and scientific precision in its outputs. Various computer software have been developed for architectural designs just as there are various types of computer hardware suitable for different purposes. The paper examines the use of computer for architectural design at all levels as alternative to use of drawing boards. The paper sees the tool as efficient for the training of architecture students and calls for replacement of drawing boards with computers. By so doing architectural designs could be presented and assessed with computers as the trend in this scientific dispensation.
