| Abstract | A web-based tool for visualizing the simulated structural behavior of spatial building models was developed to better support the teaching of structural design to both architects and engineers. The main didactic issues involved establishing a consistent and complete three-dimensional vocabulary throughout a base collection of structural system diagrams that is as related to familiar 2D conventions and as intuitively “legible” for architecture students as possible. To this end, the visualization techniques used in a number of structural simulation programs for engineers were assessed according to didactic criteria in the context of the architecture curriculum at two levels: semantic initial assessment for preliminary user-interface design and explorative learning effectiveness based on an implementation of the developed prototype. The results suggest generalized criteria for the modeling of constructivist learning resources for higher education in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) domain. |
