Summary:The relationship between digital tools and architectural education grows stronger each day. In addition to the increase in the number and variation of computer aided design software, the emergence of alternative tools for research and visual representation has already become a part of the architectural design curriculum. The strong dependency to digital tools for design, representation, and communication are becoming initial elements of education methods in architecture schools, especially after the pandemic times. This paper presents a case study on the contribution of digital tools to online architectural design studios. It is a holistic and comparative study consisting of a questionnaire on the opinions of students at different stages of architectural education about digital tools used throughout the studio process. The outcomes of the questionnaire point out to the importance of digital tools in the design studio and various approaches of students from different levels of education.
