dc.description <p>Architectural education is based on acquiring theoretical and applied knowledge.&nbsp; As a result, experiential learning theory was frequently applied to architecture design courses.&nbsp; As experiential learning refers to gaining knowledge by doing, it allows the students to experience implementing the theoretical knowledge and refine their design solutions by communicating with the teachers.&nbsp; The present study aims to integrate experimental learning in a theoretical course named "Building Information" on housing designs for first-year undergraduate architecture students.&nbsp; After eight weeks of the theoretical lecture period, the students were assigned to design a house using one of the specific approaches, namely accessibility, climate responsiveness, or flexibility.&nbsp; The occupants of the houses were defined, and the students determined their spatial needs.&nbsp; After the critique sessions, the house designs were presented with drawings and analogue models as the final product.&nbsp; Three selected examples from each design approach were evaluated in the study.&nbsp; The results showed that the students gained and implemented theoretical knowledge more efficiently with the integration of experimental learning.&nbsp;<br></p>
