建筑教育的传统教学模式下,很难真切体验古代城市空间的真实状态。传统教学除了板书之外,主要依靠数字媒体的应用。但无论是照片还是视频,认知主体永远处于媒介之外,学生所接受的信息相对间接。虚拟仿真技术的运用,是以现存实物为骨架,虚拟出古代建筑格局原貌、改变及缺失之处,以沟通古今,沉浸式体验场景。将虚拟实验与传统课程相结合,做到教学的“虚实结合”,达到真正的“沟通古今”。本文以中国古代地方城市空间认知与解析虚拟仿真实验在中国建筑简史教学上所进行的探索性实践为例,阐述了计算机虚拟仿真技术在建筑史专业课程中的重要价值,评估了它相对于传统教育手段的优越性, 并反思了在当前课程中使用虚拟仿真技术时出现的若干问题。

Under the traditional teaching mode of architectural education, it is difficult to truly experience the real state of ancient space. In addition to blackboard writing, traditional teaching mainly depends on the application of digital media. However, regardless of photos or videos, the cognitive subject is always outside the media, and the information received by students is relatively indirect. The application of virtual simulation technology takes existing objects as the skeleton to virtualize the original appearance, changes and deficiencies of ancient architectural pattern, so as to communicate the ancient and modern, experience scenes in an immersive way. The combination of virtual experiment and traditional curriculum can achieve the "combination of virtual and real" in teaching, and attain the real "communication between ancient and modern".STaking the exploratory practice of Chinese ancient local urban space cognition and analysis virtual simulation experiment in the teaching of Brief History of Chinese Architecture as an example, this paper expounds the important value of computer virtual simulation technology in the curriculum of architectural history, evaluates its advantages over traditional education methods, and reflects on some problems when using the virtual simulation technology in the current curriculum.
