Abstract

Abstract

Today, architectural and computational knowledge are not performed as different medias in both academic environments

and practice. The evolution of design knowledge and praxis compels studio education and representation

to change.

Not completing the argument of paper representation of architecture/architectural knowledge we are discussing

digital/computational representation of it. Certainly, the most challenging point is derived from the representation

of architectural knowledge in artificial media. The root of the problem lies in the nature of architectural

knowledge and its representation. Still the representation argumentations are in progress on the other hand

we are struggling to go one level forward from using computers just as a design partners. Since, the adaptation

of digital thinking and design has already started. As a result of these changes, design studio practice has been

evolving towards this digital medium.

In this route we have many questions waiting to be answered. One of the most interesting issues is the knowledge

that is produced throughout the digital media. The question of how design learning system has been evolving

worth searching on it. The context of the question is broad however the works about the subject can be examined

within the course framework. The main aim is not to answer the question but to be aware of the implementations

and their possible results that might lead us different perspectives.
