Abstract

The document examines the use of Digital Twins in architecture as a key tool for integrating environmental aspects into the design process. Defined as a real-time digital representation of a physical system, the Digital Twin allows for the simulation and prediction of architectural outcomes, facilitating decision-making based on complex data. This technology is particularly useful in architectural education, enabling students to experiment with and adjust designs in a virtual environment, fostering more practical and critical learning. The text highlights that the implementation of Digital Twins not only improves resource efficiency and reduces environmental impact but also transforms architectural education, promoting a more active and collaborative role for both students and educators.
