Abstract

This paper presents the final report of the Remote Design Studios (RDS) Project. It gathers the results of a survey conducted on teachers of architecture, urbanism, and landscape design at higher education institutions. A consultation gathered information on remote online design teaching activities during the first academic semester of the Covid-19 pandemic. The survey was carried out by researchers from Nomads.usp - Center for Interactive Living Studies of the University of São Paulo, Brazil, from June to August 2020, and included 166 respondents from institutions in 14 countries. This report presents information referring to respondents from Brazilian educational institutions located in 14 states. The methodology included a consultation through an online questionnaire, a gathering of student design exercises made available by some interviewees, and the collection of suggestions for computational applications especially suitable for remote design processes.
