This thesis develops and evaluates VR ConstructED, a game-based VR learning environment for teaching four wall construction systems in interior architecture education. Results show mixed learning gains but consistently positive student perceptions, suggesting VR works best as a scaffold when integrated into effective pedagogy.

This paper reviews 68 studies (2000–2025) on VR in architecture and design education, revealing growing interest, design-focused applications, and the need for stronger evidence and pedagogical models.

This study introduces a VR-based gamified platform that enables interior architecture students to evaluate sustainable wall materials through interactive simulations, enhancing motivation, critical thinking, and sustainability literacy. Initial findings suggest that immersive, data-driven experiences foster deeper understanding of ecological impacts in design education.
