Educational strategies for merging architectural design art and ergonomics in the training of future professionals

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how a holistic educational approach that synthesizes architecture, design, and art can enhance the training of future architects. In response to global shifts toward digitalization and interdisciplinary practice, the research examines methods that integrate traditional artistic skills, environmental awareness, and advanced technologies such as 3D modeling and IT-based design tools. The methodology involves a conceptual analysis of architectural education frameworks, supported by historical examples and contemporary case studies that illustrate successful integration of artistic and technological domains. The results reveal that combining design thinking with artistic disciplines fosters a deeper understanding of spatial aesthetics, cultural heritage, and user-centered functionality. Furthermore, interdisciplinary learning environments encourage creativity and adaptability, essential for addressing complex urban and ecological challenges. The conclusion emphasizes that effective architectural education must move beyond compartmentalized instruction and instead cultivate a dynamic synthesis of artistic expression, technological fluency, and humanistic values to prepare students for the evolving demands of the profession.
