This study is part of never-ending studies demonstrating the association between computers and Architectural Design (AD) where it is of massive interest to architects to know how computer technology can have and still affect the way they think and work, their productivity, and time management. Early questions about whether computers help might limit architectural creativity have been answered strongly in the negative - in some aspects. Computers support a lot of today's architectural ingenuity.However, some studies superficially indicate some negative aspects of using computers. But first, it is important to clarify what we mean by “computers”; a design tool (i.e. computation) or a drafting tool (i.e. computerization)

01

background

Context

“How can we apply the computer to architecture?” is dangerous, naive, and foolish. (Alexander 1964, p. 54)

"Computers have come to stay; .." (Sudbo, B. 1988)

We are in danger of creating a generation of young architects who are highly skilled with computer software and yet have little visual sensibility" (Lawson, 2005)

Over the past six decades, the positive impacts of Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD) have been extensively investigated in many aspects, unfortunately, there is not enough structure in the literature addressing the negatives particularly in terms of time and productivity.

Today's generations of CAAD users, particularly architects in Academia, are misusing them owing to a lack of awareness of the difference between computation and computerization regrettably, because they have not been taught that.

Therefore, architects may not capture what CAAD may constitute to architecture, thus wasting their time actually in routinizing processes interactions, and exposed to a set of negative consequences!

& Focus

01

Students always use computers as Computerization rather than Computation

The faulty use of logic and application of the difference between Computation and Computerization

The expected negative impacts, because of inaccurate implementation, on time, productivity and performance

Aim & Objectives

Aim

Objectives

Provide a brief of:

  • CAAD;
  • Architectural Design;
  • Computational Thinking.

Find out how can computation and computerization affect architects’ thoughts, productivity, and time management – positively and negatively.

Seek what capacities can be unfolded when integrating computational design into practicing design in Academia.

Results

Conclusions & Recommendations

A comprehensive view of CAAD features.

Employing becomes a race.

The old method of hand drafting is losing its crucial significance.

The relationships that should exist between students and instructors.

The importance of sketching

A better understanding of my design Expressing and materializing my design ideas Communicating with others Understanding design requirements Strengthen my concept Identifying problems easily & successfully Exploring multiple geometries Thinking of multiple design solutions Saving time Getting well-presented designs Getting comprehensive designs Getting fully successful designs

  • Uncertainty.
  • The speed with which designers' intentions shift.
  • The development time.
  • The time needed to learn and use more than one program.
  • The time needed for editing and rendering.
  • Time needed proposing multiple options, losing by choice given advantages of a program, not using computers properly, and regaining the lost sense of scale. It is also essential to know when to (start and stop) i.e. work time.

It is TIME- CONSUMING
