The author first shows how the dependence of atmospheric properties with increasing wavelength gives every possible advantage to aperture synthesis in the infrared as compared with the visible. He then discusses briefly the special requirements which are placed by the absence of two-dimensional detectors with a sufficient number of pixels. The author deduces from this the main noise factors which will ultimately determine the limiting magnitudes and their diameter dependence for a Very Large Telescope (VLT). Given these limits, the author reviews the astrophysical requirements in term of baseline, apertures, sites ... etc.
