Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the pedagogical implications and methods of integrating collaborative objects into architectural education and computer-aided architectural design. Over the past five years, our approach to education in design studios has embraced the concept of collaborative objects - digital objects augmented with networking capabilities. This conceptual framework allows for various forms of interaction and contribution to the design: from synchronous to asynchronous to distributed design activities. This has various consequences, both formal, as several people contribute to the creation of an architectural form, and informal, as the real time design process becomes a very social, human-centered, and community-driven activity - creating a wide variety of open, participatory architectures. Throughout multiple design studios, students engaged in hands-on projects, navigating the technical aspects of computational design as well as the intricacies of teamwork and collective creativity. This approach not only enhanced their understanding of digital architecture but also fostered a rich environment for collaborative learning and creativity. Our approach combined theoretical underpinnings with hands-on applications, ensuring a balanced educational experience. This paper reports on the key methods and concepts, their implications, and how they evolved over this period of extensive research by design on collective creativity in architectural education.
