With constant improvement in video game technologies VR has substantially upgraded architectural visualisation. It's now a tool that advances both aesthetics and functionality - in VR we can be inside our unbuilt building, we can see not only its beauty, but also see movement. We can have fire burning at the fireplace, water running in the fountain, the trees moving with the wind. We can interact with objects in the building, we can re-arrange the furniture, slide the lights and see how shadows flow, or move a wall. Apart from the interior, VR (or even more AR) can display how the building affects its neighbours and the environment, how it fits in or stands out, how it casts shadows etc.
Although seeing the unbuilt project in VR can show us various and spectacular vistas and perspectives that could not be seen otherwise, and it can be an amazing tool to push the boundaries of aesthetics even further, it can show far more. It can show the flaws. We can see all the details that can save a life some day - we can check if all emergency signs are visible from all corners; if the fire escape is logical enough; how the mall basement garage looks like if in an emergency the building runs out of electricity, etc. Like most video games, the buildings and its environment can be "tested" by a quality assurance person, and most major possible flaws, both design and function, can be avoided.
Once borderline science fiction, today we can say that VR/AR belongs in architecture.

"EON Manifesto":
EON architecture is strongly related to the layers of information connected to each project we design and we build.
Each project is a manifesto and a tribute to its site, to its role and to its owner/the client.
EON architecture emphasises the important threads between architecture and environmental issues. The goal is to combine contemporary architecture with environmental issues in relation to style and history. Thus being related to the distinctions and the history in general in our projects is of great importance to us.
EON architecture represent the creativity and design of fabulous spaces and built structures and intends to contribute high quality architecture worldwide.
The design of buildings must be able to adapt to increased and developed demand of technology of the future, but yet preserving their quality and characteristic
