JAUE2020-102: Analysis the Digital Technology in Architecture Pedagogy in the Elementary Stage

Abstract

Digital technologies such as digital fabrication, parametric design, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence have a strong impact on architectural design pedagogy more and more widely. They influence the architectural education and profession, which has highlighted the necessity of establishing a framework to integrate the computer applications with architectural curriculums. Moreover, the changes in various industries during the application of new technology, to the same extent, have reflected the urgency of establishing a digital architectural design teaching system. A questionnaire survey was conducted on a sample of architectural students and architects in order to investigate the acceptance of digital technology in the elementary level and the profession needs in various architectural fields. The study is carried out to analyze the appropriate period for digital technology courses and try to bridge the gap between architectural education and the architectural profession.
