Abstract

In an era marked by rapid technological advancement, various new methods have been employed to enhance productivity and efficiency in architectural and urban design. These methods span from surveying existing conditions and collecting data to processing materials, generating design models, and presenting ideas to diverse communities. Technology is harnessed to optimize tasks, affording urban designers and architects more time to develop their professional content under ideal working conditions, thus maximizing their capabilities. Design trends in architecture and urbanism have evolved to necessitate comprehensive and precise input data for informed design decisions. Simultaneously, designs must prioritize human-centered approaches to improve quality of life and ensure sustainability. Consequently, undergraduate students must not only master fundamental skills but also broaden their knowledge of leveraging advanced technology to boost productivity. Nevertheless, excessive reliance on technology in domains demanding creativity and traditional skills like architecture and urban design frequently sparks debate, with such innovative endeavors sometimes viewed as technology misuse. The University, renowned for its innovative scientific research, serves as an ideal conduit for future generations in architecture and urban design to learn how to judiciously harness new technology to optimize their work.

In this article, the research team proposes solutions for integrating various technologies into university curricula and extracurricular activities to expand students’ skill sets. Students are not only exposed to these technologies but also taught how to utilize them effectively and discern when to apply them to enhance project productivity. While new problem-solving approaches are introduced, students are reminded of the importance of mastering fundamental skills within the architecture and urban design curriculum. Illustrated practical teaching scenarios featured in this article are part of the undergraduate program provided by the Institute of Smart City and Management, UEH University.
