Challenges of Architectural Education Post Covid-19 Pandemic: Analytical Study of the Potentials and Problems Associated with Distant Learning

Architectural education is considered the cornerstone in the establishment of cities, through the contributions of today's architecture students who would be future architects providing built additions in cities. Accordingly, it is of extreme importance to regard how architecture students are founded from an ideological and practical point of view, which has been widely studied in regard to pedagogy realms. Thus, this paper aims to analyse the consequences of the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic on distant learning strategies applied to architectural programs. The paper aims to find answers to whether distant learning policies have affected the capabilities of graduates, and can e-learning provide solutions for future architectural education. The methodology adopted is a qualitative, analytical method, discussing the pros and cons of distant learning experiences during the past two years, on stakeholders of the educational process at Cairo University, Architecture Program. The research concludes with the potentials for future enhancement of e-learning experiences.
