Abstract

This research results from the experience held with architecture students starting from the introduction of fractal geometry concepts for architectural composition. The authors elaborated a didactic content for the Architecture and Design Virtual Learning Environment about the potential of the fractals as generative shape system in the computer-aided architectural design. The creation of the 'CAAD and Creativity' course uses specific pedagogical strategies in teaching fractals in the field of architecture as well as for distance teaching, which are explained in this article.
