Augmenting The Digital Review: Translating Reality As A Form Of Young Scholar Empowerment

Augmenting the grid serves as an investigation into the use of augmented reality technology within early architectural education as means of introducing both historical and contemporary tools of abstract making and seeing. The research culminated in a pre-college two-week intensive design studio structured at an architecture design college for students in the surrounding local high-school communities. The class examined the critical usage of image-based software for its ability to bridge the digital-physical divide within a youth outreach population. The paper explores how the use of entertainment-based image and technological apps, can create new pathways into design education particularly in groups, whom may not have previously been exposed to architectural making, but might have native familiarity with readily accessible smartphone interfaces for camera based environmental capture. The research builds upon the optic history of architectural drawing procedures towards a new form of abstraction and representation using photogrammetry and augmented reality.
