Giedion argues that the mechanization process requires three things: (1)the understanding of the steps of hand movement, (2) standardization of components and (3

dimensional variations are manipulated.A generative computing application that is rapidly expanding in use is Grasshopper, which runswith Rhino 3D. This expanded can be attributed to two factors. First, the extensive modelingcapabilities of Rhino 3D, particularly in terms of nurbs (non-uniform rational b-spline) curve andsurface modeling, has lead to its widespread adoption among architectural educators andprofessionals. The command structure has many parallels with applications AutoCAD as well as3D Studio, thus reducing the learning curve for students already familiar with this application.Secondly, the graphical interface of Grasshopper provides an explicit representation of thegeometric relationships and sequences used to generate the digital

This study into architectural technical education looks at the use of scaledphysical miniatures (hand built models) to study the relationships betweenbuildings systems and interior architecture. Through the use of surveymethodology, it explores questions about the value of scaled miniatures primarilyin comparison to their popular, computer generated partners. More specifically,this study assesses student perception of their value and also examines theusefulness of scaled miniatures upon the learning of craftsmanship, selection ofmaterials, presentation techniques and the correct juxtaposition of buildingelements within building assemblies that are

However, as object-orientedprogramming and parametric modeling that provide the core for functionality BIM applications,3D modeling is easier to learn and use when utilizing a BIM application [2].

information regarding software support was also a limitation, as the instructorhad limited experience with the analysis software, which provided difficult when attempting totroubleshoot errors that students encountered. Therefore, there was extra time spent learning thesoftware and utilizing limited resources available.The results of the student structures were analyzed individually, and then compared to each otherfor analysis. Results were taken from several factors, including model structure, still visualrenderings, animated visual renderings, and computed Autodesk Ecotect data. Not all of theresults for each student were the same, due to previously mentioned limitations. Majority of theresults extracted were similar, but not all of the students
