 * __The VDS: a new communication style__

When I read this text, I was impressed by the potential of the virtual design studios for the architectural education of students who are separated by kilometers of distance. I agree with the application of this teaching method because the designers can use the Web as a space for studio work.

Although students and teachers communicate through text, images or web links, I am disappointed because the VDS does not support CAD systems. However, I am happy because this virtual platform can be used for the exchange of information between students who do not need to be in the same place at the same time, and can address any problem of a design with the help of critics from any part the world.
