What is the formula for efficient architectural education at the time of IT revolution, when all kinds of information are just one click away? One of the possible answers is experiential learning – a method proposed by American educational theorist David A. Kolb. Kolb believes that learning is a process consisting of four phases: experience, reflection, conceptualization and application. The process is repetitive and involves reaching a solution through constant experimentation – learning by trial and error. This paper is a case study of teaching using the method of experiential learning.
