Pilot integrating visual platform in online courses

Being able to share visual course assignments and provide and receive personal feedback is essential in most studio design courses of Delft University of Technology. With the rapid growth of online and blended education teachers are confronted with the challenge of maintaining the same quality for this aspect of their teaching as in traditional...

Improving the Online Design Education Experience

Design education usually takes place in a studio setting, in which visual and spatial artefacts are produced, shared, improved, presented and commented. This specific setting comes with qualitative properties that allow for situated learning with object-oriented focus and interaction, combined with a rich collegial context in which ideas can...

Model & scale as conceptual devices in architectural representation

This year we celebrate the tenth anniversary of our Computer Aided Manufacturing laboratory (CAMlab, http://www.camlab-bk.nl). From the start we provide laser cutting, CNC-milling and 3D-print facilities for the students and the researchers at the Faculty of Architecture in Delft. Over the past ten years we have delivered uncountable amounts of...

Creativity: Cures for cues. Providing evocative situations to explore creative solutions for seemingly not matching phenomena

The conference theme, 'knowing (by) designing', specifically addresses (the processes involved in getting) experiential knowledge from designer's actions. The knowledge gained by designing can be domain specific (regarding e.g. the characteristics of certain materials, tools and techniques) and it can be more fundaniental knowledge about design...

Googlized Contextual Design

De-coding the Vernacular - Dynamic Representation Approaches to Case-based Compositional Study

Towards Ornamatics

Computer aided modelling and drafting protocols in combination with new production technologies have contributed to wholly new ways of shaping building elements. Some examples of new techniques, which have recently become very successful in building production and in architectural design education, are: 3D Rapid Prototyping; 2,5D and 3D Milling...
