| Abstract: | This publication is an introductory guide to the use of computers for the planning and design of educational facilities. After a brief introduction, the first chapter provides a flowchart of the planning and design process for educational buildings. Chapter 2 explains elementary computing concepts such as hardware and software and diagrams the processes of computing. Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 describe potential computer applications, respectively, to the macro planning stage, the research and development stage, the micro planning stage, and the implementation stage of educational building design. Chapter 7 delineates considerations for implementation of computer applications, including user requirements, software and hardware selection, and personnel. Chapter 8 provides 12 summary sheets for implementing computer applications at each stage of educational building planning and design. The document concludes with an overview of the prospects for computer use in this field. (TE) |
