Abstract

The paper demonstrates a CD-ROM Kit SNACK:PLACE (Self Navigation and Creative Knowledge: Passive and Low-energy Architecture, Climate and Education). This is an animated, graphic, hyperlinked package which is intended to teach architectural designers in a way which suites their learning mode. The Kit currently covers the whole of the Climatic Design Unit for second year architecture students at the QUT. The approach draws on ideas from educational theory which emphasise “Constructivist” learning (Strommen 1992), “Knowing” rather than “Knowing About” (Holt in Atkin 1997), and the “holistic” approach (Clark 1986) central to the design process. It is argued that knowledge acquired in this way facilitates making links between hitherto disparate ideas, which are outside their normal taxonomy. Because designers regularly need to apply knowledge to new situations, this potential meets a core design need. In using the kit participants are exploring the relationship between information and solutions, with the questions that are being answered, derived from decisions needed in the design process. The CD-ROM provides a hyperlinked structure where each user may navigate a different path. It is thus a highly flexible form of accessing information. To further make the ideas and principles personally “knowable”, every item has a visual explanation showing its implications on the form and fabric of buildings. The hierarchical reductionist structure of the kit is almost the antitheses of the traditional way of teaching Architectural Science. Here physics is visited last, rather than first. It is a tool which persuades by building on the motivation that comes out of constructing knowledge in response to questions perceived by designers as urgently requiring answers.
