This paper explores a collaborative web-based learning space named “Introduction to Housing” created in the context of the Erasmus Lifelong Learning Project OIKONET. The learning space mainly draws on the curriculum of the design studios in the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the University of Cyprus and includes work from a 3D Visual Communication course at the University of Belgrade. A...

Architectural mismatches are a recognized obstacle to successful software reuse. An architectural mismatch occurs when two or more software components are connected to form a system and those components make differing and incompatible assumptions about their interactions or the environment in which they exist. Mismatch detection and avoidance has been previously discussed in existing literature...

INTRODUCTION This paper aims to identify the process of aesthetic education in design studios. Design studio is a significant place, where students of interior design and architecture learn the multifaceted nature of design (Bhatia, 2006; Findeli, 2001). Students’ design solutions actually occur in studio, and the essence of the studio is the discussions regarding the various aspects of their s...

This paper describes an experiment of collaborative distant architectural studio and the analysis of the quality of collaboration of two groups of student. Based on a simple method to assess this quality of collaboration, we show the main results, and discuss the interests of the method and some insight to the understanding of mechanisms of collaboration.

hyperdiamonds are covalently bonded fullerenes in crystalline forms, more or less related todiamond, and having a significant amount of sp3 carbon atoms. design of severalhypothetical crystal networks was performed by using our original software programscvnet and nano-studio. the topology of the networks is described in terms of the netparameters and several counting polynomials, calculated by ...

Daniel K Brown, Professor of Design Studio (Architecture) at Victoria University Wellington, New Zealand, knows how to nurture his students into producing extraordinary work. He uses a narrative point departure for each project, instilling spatial imagination provoked by literary presences. is great believer in the power architectural drawing and modelling as well ‘word’ – whether poetry or pro...

Architectural education is the first step into professional career of an architect. It has strong connections with profession itself regarding technological trends and needs society. Therefore, emerging challenges developments in world architecture like environmental problems sustainability issues need to be addressed by educational programs architecture.

Especially in the last two decades, there has been a call for change design studio education. Today, growing body of unconventional teaching approaches is challenging traditional setting. Given central role instructor studio, each adopts an approach according to their disposition on and architecture, as well view education, some extent, they reflect course. This also enables students explore di...

Climate change is bringing new challenges for architectural education and calls a paradigm in the way we teach architecture urban design. Therefore, shift has become crucial to enhance implementation of sustainability within university programs. This paper is, an experimental study taking place, first year master's degree civil engineering at University Liège, context integrated The interconnec...
