Structures in Architecture Education: Teaching and Integrating in Design

By Prabhjot Singh Sugga

There has been a historical discord over curriculum and teaching practices for structures courses in architectural education, as students are disinterested and not able to integrate learnings from such courses into their design solutions.

The research in the book "Structures in Architecture Education: Teaching and Integrating in Design" involves the development of an assessment tool by a comparative analysis of past frameworks to understand integration that assesses three dimensions of integration of structures (performance, physical and visual) against three building systems (exterior, interior and services). Around 27-30 samples are selected for each year from first to fourth from three institutions. Data for pedagogy and curriculum are also collected that is used to analyse the results from assessment of samples.

In the second part of this book, structural equation modelling is used to analyse if the studio is the preferred mode of learning structures.
