ABSTRACT

This article intends to bring a new perspective to the discussion of how studio-based education in architectural studies can improve its quality by embedding meta-tools as paradigmatic frameworks as a learning/teaching strategy. The newly emerging creative and collaborative digital design tools and systems led to the re-shaping and re-definition of the traditional studio-based teaching/learning processes. The shift does not only comprise of a newly gained ability of using “design toolkits”, but also has substantial cognitive and pedagogical implications. The paper presents, describes and discusses the application of a new pedagogical approach through the application of a novel knowledge framework, that has been used in the teaching of DAD (Digital Architectural Design) in the context of a master’s level course. 

KEYWORDS
