Augmented Reality (AR) for Architectural Design

Abstract: In this review paper, the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in teaching architectural design is discussed, using insights from research "Augmented Reality in Design Education: Landscape Architecture Studies as AR Experience" by Kerr and Lawson (2019). The paper discusses the creation of the AR prototype Master of Time, its educational advantages, design philosophies, and collaborative approaches. The implications of the findings are the potential of AR to change pedagogy in architecture through improvement in immersive, location-based learning experiences. Important themes are learning by narrative, multisensory engagement, and interdisciplinarity. The paper concludes with suggestions for using AR in architectural design assignments.
