abstract⁄The present use of computers in the design studio focusses on automating routine tasks and on increasing drawing productivity.

The second studio demonstrates the use of computers for simple design generation tasks. In both cases, a very general and important educational objective is pursued, and computers become an integral part of the exercise.
