Design-Aided Computing: Adapting Old Spaces to New Uses (1985)
article⁄Design-Aided Computing: Adapting Old Spaces to New Uses (1985)
abstract⁄The introduction of computeraided design to an architecture school requires many departures from traditionnot only in the curriculum, but also in the facilities. Although there is an abundance of technical information available for the design of new computer rooms, building one from scratch is a luxury that few architecture schools can afford. To catch up with the computer revolution and, it is to be hoped, come to lead itcolleges must engage in the adaptive reuse of spaces that are often not particularly wellsuited to the special needs of computing. This paper describes some of the issues that should be considered when an architecture school takes its first plunge into computing. It is not a technical reference, but rather an overview General guidelines are discussed, followed by a detailed case history of our own mixed experience The emphasis is on the need for developing specific plans regarding computer applications before making any big commitments.
