Introduction 15
- To map the architectural design modules which are conceived, structured and devel-
oped by employing innovative experimentations and digital design techniques of
generating and manufacturing architectural forms.
. To outline the educational objectives of those modules, the teaching strategies they
follow, the student competences they pursue and the learning outcomes they expect
to achieve.
- To record the teaching methods they use in order to arrive at their expected objec-
tives. - To present the design themes selected for the teaching process, the different assign-
ments introduced by the teachers, the necessary technical infrastructure used by
the students. - To investigate the criteria for the evaluation of the students’ performance and the
competences achieved by the educational process.
The workshop is a debate-oriented event. Eminent architectural design teachers who
experiment with their architectural design courses have been invited to present their
cases. Teachers of architectural design are invited to contribute to the debates on the
above mentioned issues by presenting a paper or a poster with their views, ideas, experi-
ences and pedagogical approaches approachesto architectural design education respon-
sive to the contemporary context of the creation and production of architectural form.
Debates will enhance the two types of presentation and will argue the issues arising to
architectural design education and experimentation.
