Abstract

Nowadays, the technology has evolved and its advancement has affected the learning field. People opted to use the cloud technology as it can cater the communication between the instructor and students. In this study, the focused learning field is architectural design learning. Design has a vast disciplines and it is often related to the architecture domain. It comes with three distinct features which are propose, critique and iterate. Hence, communication between instructor and students is crucial in order to get the best design. Most of the types of communication occurred during the critique session. Currently, the instructor found out that it is hard to intervene with the students design during the personal critique session. Thus, cloud technologies can act as a scaffolding tool during the design process. To achieve this study, a proposal on cloud-based design studio to facilitate the communication between instructor and students is done. An in-class observation has been done to see how the cloud technology can fit in facilitating the design process. By adapting the cloud technology in design learning, it gives opportunity for the instructor and students to communicate among each other while improving the design virtually in real-time.
