Abstract

The research proposes the incorporation of immersive and interactive models into the different phases of the architectural project development from a practical application perspective. In our case, the integration takes place in early stages of architectural learning, observing aspects that represent an advance in the knowledge of architectural systems; developing, additionally, ways to experience the process of creating an architectural project through a research based on the use of immersive tools. From an academic perspective, the model proposes the evolution towards the creation of virtual design studios, where students’ access projects asynchronously. A flexible and accessible, working and researching platform, where students have the possibility to work with models, visit spaces, and modify projects through collaborative files. The proposal concludes with the speculation of future experiences, close to the metaverse, that complement the traditional classroom.
