As a result of the experience and scientific research authors on deep ecology sustainability process, academic courses were created that are run at two stages educating architecture students. The aimed demonstrating effectiveness quality as well rationality assumptions educational methods adopted for their implementation. One them was survey method, didactic experiment tool. innovative methodol...

What are the objectives of teaching digital design in architecture? While this seems a rather primitive inquiry it in fact is loaded with misunderstanding and disagreement. This paper aims to bring accepted educational research about learning objectives into the discussion of digital design’s relationship to architecture. In particular, Bloom’s Taxonomy is introduced and referenced as a tool fo...

During the early stages of architectural training, tangibility plays an important role in developing spatial awareness. In such contexts, tangible user interfaces are believed to provide a significant advantage as they combine the affordances of both the physical and the digital world. We introduce CubeExplorer, a hybrid 3D conceptual aid that combines physical interaction and digital modeling ...

Teaching architectural design is not primarily concerned with presenting a body of knowledge analytically, but rather with influencing the way students act in a design situation. Previous design cases play an important part in this process, as they provide students with sets of objectives and corresponding solution patterns. Nevertheless, one of the main problems with using precedents in the de...

Individuals can be classified in terms of having a particular cognitive style or preference in the way in which they perceive or process information. This paper investigates how students with particular cognitive styles, as measured by Riding’s Cognitive Styles Analysis, perform in design project work at particular stages of Architectural Education. It suggests that contrary to assumptions foun...

Schools of architecture play a major role in motivating and inspiring students to gain competencies in sustainability through pedagogical practices. However, at the operational level, the incorporation of sustainability within architectural programmes needs to be integrated into both the curricula and teaching methods. There are few studies on how architectural programmes’ curricula and pedagog...
