One of the most difficult assessment problems for faculty is student design competitions where only one or maybe two teams participate for independent study. Students are excited and focused on the possibility of winning. The faculty is usually concerned with process and assessment in the context of a project and program not of their design. The issues are multiplied when you combine the proble...

This article aims to unsettle familiar notions of the educational design studio by examining how it is different from professional studio. Both settings share similar routines, practices, and physical features; however, I argue their operations differ in critical ways. By bringing attention these differences, hope open up new perspectives on learning happens studios make a case for further mate...

We investigated the impact of transition to online architectural design studios in response COVID-19 pandemic at University New South Wales Sydney, Australia. The study focussed specifically on student and tutor perceptions studio before sudden delivery, how those shifted through initial months delivery. consider pedagogical context which shift teaching took place evident successes failures ear...

We demonstrate that Microsoft LINQ can be used as a convenient tool to define architectural assertions. We introduce an abstract model of software based on a directed multigraph and formalize the notion of software architecture and architectural assertions. We demonstrate how Microsoft Visual Studio can be harnessed to extract the architecture of a given software project and append it with asse...

In the past, conventional computer-aided architectural design (CAAD) systems could not manage semantic information on building components and spaces but only graphical and geometric information. However, since the advent of Building Information Modeling (BIM), which has been used for managing semantic building information, determining spatial relationships as well as quantities and properties o...

In this paper, we present an original environment, the Distributed Collaborative Design Studio (DCDS) which allows multimodal real-time remote exchanges, and which aims at re-creating remotely the conditions of co-present meetings. This environment associates a videoconference tool (supporting verbal and non-verbal communication) and an original realtime shared digital hand-drawn sketches syste...
