Geometría, CAD 3D y aprendizaje: precauciones conceptuales

Description

This paper is presented under the assumption that 3D CAD systems are nowadays powerful tools, not only in advanced geometry but also as learning environments for elementary levels in university undergraduate courses. Their use at these levels is continuously increasing; however, they may be applied without taken into account both the repercussions of recent advances in the fundamentals of architectural geometry and potential risks which may generate certain lacks of necessary knowledge for the current professional practice. This research is intended to warn about this situation by providing some reflections on fundamentals on architectural geometry. Basic contents and competences are addressed from a contemporary point of view as well as certain caution in dealing with the features of present 3D CAD systems for the teaching and learning process. This reasoning is illustrated with a graphical example of a specific lesson: basic concepts of perspective.
