abstract⁄A primary lesson of a beginning design studio is the development of a fundamental design competence. This entails acquiring skills of integration, projection, exploration, as well as criticalthinkingforming the basis of thinking ’like a designer.‘Plaguing the beginning architectural design student as shedevelops this competence are three typical problems a laggingvisual intelligence, a linking of originality with creativity, and thebelief that design is an act of an individual author instead of acollaborative activity.We believe that computation support for design learninghas particular attributes for helping students overcome these problems. These attributes include its inherent qualities for visualization,for explicitness, and for sharing. This paper describes five interactive multimedia exercises exploiting these attributes which weredeveloped to support a beginning design studio. The paper alsoreports how they have been integrated into the course curriculum.
