Uma proposta didática para o ensino em ateliê de arquitetura

Abstract

How about rethinking the way we learn architecture? With digitalization increasingly shaping design processes, integrating innovative technologies into education has become essential. That’s exactly what this research explores: the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a teaching tool in the Architecture Studio. Imagine being able to visualize your project in an interactive 3D model, understand its construction dynamically, and improve communication with colleagues and professors. This is the idea behind the "Virtual House in BIM" , an approach that turns parametric 3D models into learning allies, making analysis, experimentation, and the understanding of architectural concepts more accessible. The research, conducted through qualitative methodologies and case studies in the classroom, reveals that this strategy enhances spatial perception, interdisciplinary coordination, and the understanding of construction and technological aspects. Moreover, it fosters critical thinking and strengthens collaboration—essential skills for any architect in today’s market. The results are clear: integrating BIM into architectural education is not just a technological upgrade but a transformation in the way future professionals are trained. After all, learning by designing in a digital environment means being better prepared for real-world challenges.
