Below is
just a brief draft of what I plan to ask during the interview session with an
experienced architect for my dissertation research later on, and also I hereby
attach a sample questionnaire which I plan to distribute to a number of design
students to obtain useful information and feedback in my survey.
Interview
Questions [Draft]
1. How long have
you been working in this industry?
2. Was CAD software being introduced in your learning progress when you were pursuing your studies in architecture and design?
3. What are your most memorable design experiences/projects?
4. Do you use CAD software in your projects and how do you find them useful?
5. How has digital technology and software influenced architecture and design in general? In what ways?
6. Are you more comfortable designing using design software or manually?
7. Does CAD software aid you in conceptualizing ideas?
8. How digital technology has possibly changed the way architects and designers think nowadays?
9. Is Digital technology is enabling new forms of design content or mainly contributes to the exploiting of technology in cases of design? Please state your opinion on this argument.
10. Do you think that architects and designers nowadays depend on design software too much until they lose their own originality and creativity in design?
11. Do you personally think that manual drafting and visualization skills are equally important as design skills using CAD software? What is your opinion about this?
