Abstract

The paper focuses on the MACE (Metadata for Architectural Contents in Europe) system and its usage in architecture education at the university level. We report on the various extensions made to the system, describe some of the new functionality and give first results on the evaluation of the MACE System. Several universities were involved with significant student groups in the evaluation, so that the indications described here are already highly trustable. First results show that using MACE increases student performance significantly.
