Abstract:
Current advances in technology and cyberspace capacity coupled with emerging research in science education are creating new opportunities to enhance architectural education in the science and technology areas and prepare students for effective collaboration with other stakeholders in the building industry. The project described in this paper addresses the need for the improvement of science and technology education and proposes that using advances in digital technology to engage students in interactive learning is a necessary step. One of the most promising and youngest applications of computer technology has been in developing in educational games. Using new technologies to re-think the education of the architect in the relation to matter as energy reinforces the role of architecture in science, technology and mathematics.
