When it comes to education, the COVID-19 epidemic has had a major effect,
particularly on distance learning techniques that must be completed online. It also
applies to Architecture and Interior Design students in the planning and design studio
lecture activities, which were formerly carried out offline in the studio but are now
required to be carried out online from their individual residences, as part of the online
learning methodology. Various difficulties encountered in architectural and interior
planning, as well as design studio lectures, need students' adaptation via the use of
virtual reality and digital technology. There are numerous restrictions in terms of
visual and digital communication, ranging from the use of technical equipment to the
facilities held by lecturers and students. The research used a qualitative descriptive
approach, in which data was gathered via questionnaires, with the respondents being
architecture and interior design students who answered the questions. According to
the findings of the research, the adaptation of online lectures is not only a virtual and
digital issue, but also a physical and non-physical one that requires consideration.
When it comes to architectural and interior planning and design studio courses,
virtual and digital changes have an impact on the learning process and the quality of
learning results. Physical adaptation necessitates the provision of supporting
resources in the form of tools and equipment to aid in the delivery of classroom
lectures. Non-physical adaptation includes changes in time, patterns and methods of
learning, behavior, psychology, and the internet network, as well as changes in the
internet network itself. In future studies, it is necessary to do more in-depth study on
behavioral and psychological adjustments and perspectives.
