BUILDING SYSTEMS INTEGRATION, DESIGN STU- DIOS AND A SOCIAL LEARNING CLOUD

Building Systems Integration (BSI) within architectural de- sign studios are often seen secondary, as side task, or unnecessary. This is due to the overall perception that does not relate to the design activity and hence is a desired learning outcome. Akin to this a con- tinuous and relevant integration of Learning Management Systems and blended learning environment is not employed in many design studios. This paper describes how BSI can be connected and integrat- ed to design activities that offer a holistic view of architectural design learning. The presented studio includes various online and blended learning activities, social communication platforms, cloud-based in- struments and evaluation tools with the goal to enhance the learning outcome and the collaboration between peers, studio instructors, re- search staff, and outside practitioners.
