The authors of this article explore the integration of remote sensing techniques, specifically laser scanning and photogrammetry, as well as immersive visualisation via different methods applied to architectural design processes, and its potential impact on the professional development of future architects. The study demonstrates the value of extending the architectural design process into the interdisciplinary field of geomatics and computer science through mixed research methods, including interviews, hands-on activities, market observations and knowledge of technological advances. The study results suggest a growing demand for certain interdisciplinary skills among students, necessitating an expanded approach to architectural design education to take full advantage of technological advances. The observed new possibility of the emergence of new professional specialisations in architecture, such as digital inventory managers, highlights the need to adapt some educational pathways to meet the demands of the industry, especially in the context of architectural heritage. The implication of this approach is to recommend the integration of remote sensing techniques into architectural curricula to better prepare future architects for today’s ever-evolving practice.
