ECOTECT analysis: integration of architectural studio project with theory classroom assignment through computer simulation

This study analysed the feasibility of introducing environmental analysis software called ECOTECT to 1st and final year Part 1 Architecture students in the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The study evaluates the students’ response and perception towards the software after completin...
