Intensive technology usage in education has been increasing in every field recently. Because computer based visual technology
has been developing and becoming the most popular trend in the recent years. In addition to these decreasing prices of the
computer based systems make this trend more attractive. Architectural education is one of the most difficult and expensive
education and based on visual material. That’s why computers and complicated software usage in architectural education has
increased dramatically. Using these software, an architecture student can perform his/her project design spending less energytime
but more realistic. But the disadvantage of these systems is to make students computer addicted and design their project
without creativity. This paper aims to study advantages and disadvantages of this trend and to find a balance level. According to
this concept, courses in architectural design are investigated. What kind of computer systems and software use in education is
searched? Based on response of students, the advantages and disadvantages of this trend are studied.
