Abstract

In this paper, we describe the influence that simulation tools can potentially have on architecture students’ design process. In order to understand the simulation usage in the educational context, we first reviewed the previous uses of technological tools in architectural design. In the experiment, students of South Korea performed design tasks guided by either a simulation tool or a studio instructor. The given task also differed by its nature, optimization- vs. concept-driven. As a result, we found that the simulation provided a creative-prone environment to the students and increased their attention to detail.
