Transformations of descriptive geometry education for architecture students at Gdańsk University of Technology, Poland
Abstract
In this article, the authors analyse the evolution of teaching descriptive geometry for architecture students at Gdańsk University of Technology (Gdańsk Tech), Poland. The study traces changes in the curriculum in terms of teaching hours, considering also practices at Politechnika Lwowska (Lwów Polytechnic) and the Technische Hochschule Danzig (Technical University of Gdańsk), before World War II. The article identifies key historical periods during which changes in the teaching of descriptive geometry were examined. The analysis indicates a significant reduction in the number of teaching hours dedicated to descriptive geometry and a simultaneous increase in the importance of using computer-aided design (CAD) tools and three-dimensional parametric modelling. The importance of spatial understanding and imagination, fostered by geometric education, is discussed. The article advocates for a curriculum that integrates geometric concepts within broader contexts of architectural and digital design, ensuring the development of essential spatial skills among future architects.
