Intention of the workshops
Intention of the workshops 1- As a verification
process of the toolbox 2- Test the tool as
education method 3- Test the building cultural
knowledge of upcoming architects

GADS Toolbox
1-An easy technique for adding new items 2-A
constraints technique for warning the user
3-More information explaining why such design
strategies culturally accepted 4-Showing the
total culture indicator and green certificate

GADS Toolbox
Conclusion 1-A big gap between theoretical
knowledge and application exists in the field of
architectural education. The Toolbox presents a
learning bridge to overcome this gap through a
direct facilitating process, which proves to be
of great help. 2-There is a lack of knowledge
concerning the Egyptian building culture and its
expected influence on the design process among
upcoming architects (the students). This finding
supports the research approach and hypothesis.
3-Developing a software version for the toolbox
in order to adapted most of the refinements
generated by the students such as -Adding new
items -Constraints -Showing total culture
indicators and green certificates for the whole
project -Free movement among toolbox
chapters -More information
