Summary/Abstract: In 2007, the Faculty of Architecture successfully acquired a series of Erasmus intensive programmes with the theme of Designing and Inhabiting Virtual Environments (DIVE). The programmes were realised in the form of workshops during the next three years, with different thematic emphases. Virtual spaces have become a major factor in economic growth in many contexts. As a result, the design of experiential rooms offers new opportunities for architects to work and to find jobs related to the aesthetic and conceptual design of these virtual environments. To this end, the workshop offered students additional knowledge and skills - such as the use of parametrics, algorithmics, 3D printing - expanded their digital literacy and reminded them of the different scales and different rules that apply in environments which avoid established concepts and thus "skip dimensions".
