Parametric Design:Measuring Learning States

Project teaching and learning comprises properties,strategies and procedures that currently involve computational thinking and logical reasoning.In general,this problem arises from the possibilities offered by the new software and the increase of the level of dominion of the project by the designer.In this context,this study aims to estimate how much the student profile contemporary of architecture is motivated and engaged in learning new project processes that use computational reasoning and logical reasoning,characteristic of parametric design.Methodologically,the research is based on the theory of flow,presents results of an investigation of engagement and learning of students of a school of Architecture and Urbanism in Brazil,referring to the themes and uses of parametric drawing.This study contributed to the practice and use of parametric design in the educational environment,besides allowing the integration of computational thinking in the creative process of the project.
