Visualization methods in architecture education using 3D virtual models and augmented reality in mobile and social networks

Abstract

Migration to new visualization techniques is a trend that allows for a better spatial understanding. In order to evaluate the resilience ability of first-year students of Spanish architecture degree, we have compared two learning methodologies: the traditional generation of printed plans, and the generation of interactive 3D models using new systems of publication and interaction. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the new methodology that assumes that the use of friendly technology in the classroom makes it much easier and satisfying for students to follow the subjects, allowing better acquisition of the skills they are learning
