Is CAD a Is CAD a Tool or Creative Tool or Creative MediaMedia ? ?
ProvideProvide better design productivity effective collaboration possibilities rapid product development
But these technologies can do more than the average user might expect develop faster than the users can implement them
successfully often fail to meet the expected result because of
ineffective IT use

IT literacy is more than just anyCAD literacy !

What kind of changes the digital media has effected to the architectural working and educational environments ?
Are we ready to accept that ? Are there even defined strategies to
use digital tools/media in the architectural education ?
How the modern media is integrated into the architectural education ?
