“…Therefore, nothing is more pertinent than an exploration of the architectural design knowledge in order to identify similar issues which can be considered in the design of both, virtual and real spaces. This view is also shared by other authors such as Bridges and Charitos (1996), Cabral-Filho (1996), Winograd at al. (1996), and Benedikt(1992).…”

In this paper, a design methodology for the development of networked collaborative learning environments for Higher Education is discussed. It takes into consideration the educational theories as a strong foundation to draw upon, but also explores architectural design theories as a way to guide and inform the process. Based on a non-positivist epistemology, with an emphasis on critical reflection and complemented by an understanding of knowledge as socially constructed, a conceptual framework for the use of information technology in Higher Education (HE) is presented. This framework generates the background for the design methodology. It is argued that a more holistic approach on the design of networked collaborative environments for Higher Education should facilitate the integration of this type of environments into the structure of HE institutions and also the integration of these institutions with the external communities they are supposed to contribute to.

“…The virtual museum must accommodate users' for navigation, interaction and communication, and thus may benefit from using architectural design knowledge (Bridges & Charitos, 1997). How the spatial entities are expressed within the virtual museum will depend on the metaphor for building and the corresponding abstraction of physical events.…”

“…Human interaction with this world may be so immersive as to give the illusion that one is not observing, but within a new world (Walker, 1990). The differences between virtual and physical environments are significant, yet they are experienced with the same perceptual processes (Bridges & Charitos, 1997). Historically, technological limitations have prevented the virtual environment from providing satisfactory visual, auditory, or tactile kinesthetic information (Carr & England, 1995).…”

“…In a virtual museum, space is multidimensional and unconfined. Issues of time and scale are illusory because no such constraints exist unless specifically designed and implemented (Bridges & Charitos, 1997). Virtual museums are open year round, do not charge admission fees, may feature extended collections that would be impossible ot convene in a "real" environment, and, in some instances, may be more accessible to visitors with disabilities than are museum buildings.…”

“…Similarly, the problem of determining how to best harness the potential of digital tools to facilitate the earliest stages of the conceptual design process is an important topic that has received considerable attention over the years from researchers in both Architecture and Computer Science 9,5,7,6,16,17,10,21,23,22 .…”
