A New Digital Culture in Architecture and Engineering Design Classes with Technological Advances

Abstract

This work deals with the approach of information and communication technologies in the classroom activities of the disciplines of architectural projects to propose improvements in the formation of architects and in the teaching models practiced in schools of Architecture and Engineering of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The objective of this work is to discuss the use of technology through the design course. The position of Professors in the adoption of these technologies was analyzed. The work presents an analysis of pedagogical practices to reflect on possible advances, disharmonies and conflicts with the use of technologies in design development. This discussion can contribute to stimulating the qualification of Professors and future professionals. The findings indicate that new pedagogical practices with the use of technology can be gradually adopted. So Professors and students can better interact and develop the teaching/learning relationship with the updated models of teaching architectural projects.
