    Advances in computational technology provide opportunities to explore new methods to improve spatial abilities and the understanding of buildings in architecture education. The research employed BIMxAR, a Building Information Modeling-enabled AR educational tool with novel visualization features to support learning and understanding construction systems, materials configuration, and 3D section views of complex building structures. We validated the research through a test case based on a quasi-experimental research design, in which BIMxAR was used as an intervention. Two study groups were employed - non-AR and AR. The learning gain differences within and between the groups were not statistically significant, however, the AR group perceived significantly less workload and higher performance compared to the non-AR group. These findings suggest that the AR version is an easy, useful, and convenient learning tool.

    There is a close relation between spatial thinking and mathematical problem-solving. This paper presents a newly developed educational Augmented Reality (AR) mobile application, BRICKxAR/T, to help students intuitively learn spatial transformations and the related mathematics through play. A pilot study with 7 undergraduate students evaluates students learning gain through a mental rotation and a math test on transformation matrices. The results show most students performed better with a higher score after learning with the app. Students found the app interesting to play and useful for learning geometric transformations and matrices.
