Therefore, along with the above literaturestudy, the author used two methods to gain answers to the questions posed at thebeginning of this paper.At the outset, a review was conducted of the top undergraduate architecturalschools in the United States to determine if hand-built models were being utilized Page 13.445.4as design and teaching tools. The rankings of architecture schools by the DesignFutures Council was used to determine which schools to review11. In

Much too often, however, the technology side of architecturefollows the lead of engineering-like quantitative studies that examine the scientific realm of Page 12.1260.4technology. Qualitative research adds color and texture to the field (Shumer 10 ), creating awhole new praxis and pedagogical area of experimentation. From the outset, our team realized that we needed to acquire ways and means ofdocumenting our experiences in the field. Ethnography appeared to be a sensible selection inthis instance

computer models had an advantage over flat orperspective drawings in 2-dimensions (2D), but add that they were perceived by students as moredifficult to work with than hands-on models. 18 There appears to be research on the spatialability benefits of using physical models and computer generated model images in non-designlecture courses. However there is minimal data on the effects of student-created models on thedevelopment of their spatial intelligence.Course Background:First semester freshmen in our department programs – Architectural Engineering Technologyand Construction Management Engineering Technology – take 2 non-design courses, namelyGraphics I and Material and Methods of Construction I.

A research study was conducted in SPSUConstruction Department to examine the teaching effectiveness. The spatial transferability of thefaculty evaluation mechanisms, without regard to spatial socio-cultural differences, is discussedin this study based on the collected data and following a thorough literature review. It was foundthat the ratings of a large percentage of construction students were positively influenced whentheir exam grades were inflated; the entire course material was not covered during the semester;a project was not assigned to the course; and students were allowed to arrive late as well asabsent from class from time to time

engineering innovations such as cars, airplanes and trainscontributed to this condition by situating physical ‘displacement’ and ‘movement’ at the centerof the architectural design lexicon. “Space has since become such an integral part of our thinkingabout architecture that we are practically incapable of thinking about it at all without putting ourmain emphasis in the spatial displacement of the subject in time.”3 The frequency with whichstudents, architects and engineers use the word “space” when intending to speak about“architecture” is evidence of precisely this condition.A result of this excessive reliance on “space” has been the over emphasis of “form” inarchitectural design and an increasing neglect of the material specificity attendant to the

” when designing and in particular when developing a set of working drawings. This paperexplores this notion and discusses the development of a commercial construction course thatrelies upon first hand experience to teach the fundamentals of renovation design. In doing so itinvolved students in an “adopt a building” program in which each student used an existingbuilding as a case study for the development of their project. The research questions in thisinstance were: 1. Is using an adopted building an effective method for teaching commercial construction? 2. Does using an adopted building help in the production of a set of working drawings? 3. What specific drawings in a set of working drawings are most influenced by
