Abstract

Architecture students learn to develop, to design 2D or 3D spaces as a facility of human activities. They should create the form of building(s) based on the needs/functions, the strength of the building structure, and the beauty of its appearance. This paper discussed the role of digitalization in the architecture study process based on the author’s many years of self-experience as instructors at different studio levels at some architecture schools and observation of the architecture student’s learning experience from the basic towards the advanced level of study. As conclusions, first, digitalization in architecture is a supporting part to realizing and visualizing architects’ freedom of creativity. Its role is more as a tool than a design stream in architecture. Second, the architectural design process, which starts from individual freehand sketches of ideas, will remain. The digitalization of this process will limit creativity. Thirdly, architecture students and architects should spend more time familiarizing themselves to accept the influence of digital technology in the design process.
