Abstract

This paper presents several studies focused on the representation of three-dimensional space and architectural projects developed in the academic framework of the Architecture and Technical Architecture degrees. The objective is to analyse the improvement in graphical and spatial expression of the students, using technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). This work has been carried out through case studies carried out in the last five years in the subjects of Representation Systems I and II. The proposals have been studied from the point of view of universal accessibility using new technologies and three-dimensional models for users with disabilities. The adoption of the technological innovations has modified substantially the methods of work in the teaching field. In addition, the students have expressed a high attraction and engagement using these technological approaches, which has finally led to a curricular improvement.
