Digital design techniques : technical knowledge and Saudi architectural education

Abstract EN

Digital design techniques became an inevitable trend, but to use these techniques
architects need considerable higher computation skills.

These skills encloud programing
languages, mathematics, software and English.

It is assumed that the relationship
between Saudi architectural education and these techniques is still not strong, even
though programing is being taught at Saudi computer science schools.

Therefore, it is
fundamental to know how these techniques have shifted the architectural design process
and to know the way to start scripting.
