Architectural Models as Learning Tools, Bekkering Juliette, Curulli Irene, van Hoof Sjef, Editör, Caleidoscopio, Eindhoven, ss.15-21, 2020
This study aims to examine and draw attention to the interaction issues among designers, digital models, and digital model-making environments. The paper explores the historical developments of the analog model and model-making, and emphasizes its significance for designers. Besides being a representation tool for designers, models are also design artefacts and interaction tools, which increase the importance of the model-making process for design education. Digital turn in architecture environments via information and communication technologies (ICT) have also digitized the architectural model-making process. However, since digital tools are still in development, their impact on the design process is not fully understood. Understanding the role of digital model-making environments on the design process and developing those environments are issues that also concern design educators. Consequently, this study draws the attention of digital model-making environments in design teaching context.
