Abstract
This study investigated seven virtual architectural design studios (VADS) at an Australian university, incorporating survey results returned from 47 students and one in-depth interview with the course coordinator. VADS have been attracting increasing interest particularly since the 2020 pandemic. VADS have the potential to be beneficial for students’ learning experiences by better facilitating students’ ideation process, providing greater accessibility, and enhancing global collaboration among architecture schools. Preliminary results from this study suggest that architectural students have a generally positive experience within VADS, especially in relation to the flexibility offered. These results also identify a need for further development and enhancement of related technologies, to better support the future of architectural design and learning. The results of this study provide an understanding of student and staff teaching and learning experiences of current VADS, which set a foundation for planning and designing of future Metaverse-based architectural education.
