article⁄Object Based Modeling and Concept-Testing: A Framework for Studio Teaching (1992)
abstract⁄This chapter concludes with a proposal for a studio structure that incorporates computers as a creative stimulus in the design process. Three related experiences support this hypothesis the role played in concrete designs by an Object Based Modeling environment, teaching with Computer Aided Architectural Design and OBM in the realm of documentation and analysis of architecture, previous applications of the ConceptTesting methodology in design studios. Examples from these three areas provide the framework for mutual support between OBM and a CT approach for studio teaching. The central sections of the chapter focus on the analysis of these experiences, while the last section provides a 15 week, semester based, studio structure that incorporates OBM in the overall calendar and in key assignments.
