Building the Future: Empowering Young Minds in the Digital Era Through Experiential Architectural Education
Traditional architectural education, still widely practised globally, is structured around design-studio courses rooted in the master-apprentice model. This approach faces heightened scrutiny in the post-Covid-19 era, marked by the integration of diverse digital tools and AI, for prioritising instruction over student experience. Recognising the need for swift evolution towards a more active and meaningful educational landscape, this chapter explores the transformative potential of experiential learning within online architecture courses, specifically designed for children and young people. It employs the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model to examine pedagogies that cultivate architectural awareness, design cognition, and concept development. Two case studies in Colombia serve as focal points, incorporating synchronous and asynchronous activities to stimulate imagination, creativity, and observational skills through analogue and digital tools tailored to distinct age groups. The application of a formative assessment approach, coupled with participant feedback, offers insights into the courses’ success in achieving the set objectives. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of seamlessly integrating experiential learning into online architectural education, presenting valuable implications for educators navigating the complexities of contemporary teaching in the digital era.
