The Teaching of Technology-Mediated Architectural Design

ABSTRACT

This work presents the strategies used in the development of the teaching of the subject of Architecture Project III of the School of Architecture and Urbanism of the Federal Fluminense University from the return to classes during the period of the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic which started in 2020. The course was carried out in the online teaching system mediated by technology. Considering the complexity that the teaching of architecture design requires in the fourth semester of the course, and given the conditions imposed by the pandemic, the development of technology-mediated design teaching was a challenge faced by the teachers of the subject. The teaching project theme is complex and extensive and considers a mixed-use high-rise building, with residential and commercial units in a consolidated urban environment, oriented towards the design and development of open and closed spaces, as well as public, collective and private spaces. This article covers the experiences, the strategies adopted, the difficulties and the results obtained in the teaching of architectural design from September 2020 until February 10, 2022. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
