Digital Imaging and the Web in Teaching Structures: A Rigorous Visual Approach (1996)
article⁄Digital Imaging and the Web in Teaching Structures: A Rigorous Visual Approach (1996)
abstract⁄The paper outlines a project to incorporate digital images and the world wide web in teaching introductory structural design in architecture. The objective of the project is to move beyond technology substitution, toward innovation by using digital imaging and the web to do things that are otherwise not possible. The discussion of digital imaging gives examples of image enhancement, annotation, and manipulation in illustrating structural concepts. The discussion of the web addresses webbased image archives for structural engineering, imagebased modelling assignments, collective inductive learning, and collective review.
