Facilitate Learning: Using Architecture As A Teaching Tool, Doron Zarur
Facilitate Learning: Using Architecture As A Teaching Tool, Doron Zarur
Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year
This thesis proposes a new design for an architecture school that looks beyond the verbal and formal way of teaching, engaging students with multiple modes of learning to help them understand the fundamentals of architecture. The thesis looks at the positive impact of this new learning style - providing spaces that visually teach the construction and concepts of building, the foundation of architecture. This research explores visually providing various types of structures in the same space that students learn, strengthening the learner’s understanding and enabling a broader perspective of the content. It also can lead to better solutions for design …
