A Computer Aided Model for Supporting Design Education

Authors: Leyla Y. Tokman, Rusen Yamaçlı

Abstract:

Educating effective architect designers is an important goal of architectural education. But what contributes to students- performance, and to critical and creative thinking in architectural design education? Besides teaching architecture students how to understand logical arguments, eliminate the inadequate solutions and focus on the correct ones, it is also crucial to teach students how to focus on exploring ideas and the alternative solutions and seeking for other right answers rather than one. This paper focuses on the enhancing architectural design education and may provide implications for enhancing teaching design.

Keywords: Architectural education, design studio, teaching method, GUI-Graphical User Interface.
