Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of teaching aids technology, and in particular to a building cube space teaching aid. Background Technology

[0002] In current architectural education practice, especially for cultivating spatial design skills in lower-grade students, 9m×9m×9m cube spatial design tasks have become a common and effective teaching method. This task not only tests students' ability to grasp spatial scale but also encourages them to explore how to create rich and varied spatial experiences and functional layouts within a limited volume through strategies such as modular design, spatial connectivity, and openwork. This process is crucial for cultivating students' spatial imagination, innovative thinking, and practical problem-solving abilities.

[0003] However, traditional teaching aids, such as LEGO models, while helping students to visualize abstract design concepts to some extent, are increasingly revealing their inherent limitations. Although LEGO bricks are flexible and versatile, they were not specifically designed for architectural space and lack a modular system tailored to the characteristics of architectural spaces. This means that students need to spend a significant amount of time finding suitable brick shapes and sizes to simulate architectural elements such as walls, doors, windows, and floors—a process that is not only tedious and inefficient. More importantly, once a LEGO model is completed, its internal structure is often difficult to visualize, limiting students' understanding and exploration of deeper spatial characteristics such as internal flow, lighting effects, and line-of-sight analysis. Furthermore, LEGO bricks are inadequate for rapid iteration and combination of different design schemes, failing to efficiently support students' research and practice in diverse spatial variations, thus impacting teaching effectiveness and the full development of students' innovative abilities.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a building cube spatial teaching tool to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
