Challenging Ict Applications in Architecture, Engineering, and Industrial Design Education (Premier Reference Source) James Wang 1.º edición

Are Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) helpful or detrimental to the process of design? According to Aristotle, the imagination is a mental power that assists logical, sound judgments. Design, therefore, incorporates both reason and imagination.

Challenging ICT Applications in Architecture, Engineering, and Industrial Design Education posts imagination as the central feature of design. It questions the common assumption that ICTs are not only useful but also valuable for the creation of the visual designs that reside at the core of architecture, engineering design, and industrial design. For readers who believe this assumption is right, this book offers an alternative perspective.
