Computers in Design Studio Teaching [International Workshop Proceedings]

Studio Teaching and CAAD are often perceived as separate worlds within academia: different topics, different locations, different teachers, weak interaction, if any at all. The workshop aimed at bringing two parties together: those who really have experience in teaching the use of computers while students are designing, and those who have no experience but have ideas about what to do, what not, and why. The key issues were: how and for what purpose are computers used in the design studio, why and for what purpose are computers not used in the design studio, when and how to start with CAAD in the curriculum, and what is the relationship between CAAD teaching and architectural and/or design theory? In bringing together the EAAE and the eCAADe community, an interesting and fruitful exchange of ideas amongst teachers in architecture took place
