Sep 25, 2026

Interior design teaching is a highly practical discipline that must continuously adapt as the interior design industry and talent cultivation evolve. Threedimensional (3D) computer-aided simulation uses computer-related software to design, express, generate, process, and display 3D graphics, giving students intuitive experiences of space volume, materials, proportions, and color while previewing design effects. Based on prior research analysis, the paper outlines current status and challenges and proposes curriculum construction optimization.

Teaching Optimization of Interior Design Based on Threedimensional Computer-aided Simulation Jie Yang 1 1School of International Business, Zhengzhou Tourism College, Zhengzhou 450000, China, [y.00@163.com](y.00@163.com) Corresponding author: Jie Yang, [y.00@163.com](y.00@163.com) Abstract. Interior design, as a highly practical subject, is a new design concepts. It is the application of new teaching methods and the expression of new design elements which make the teaching continuously optimized and adaptable to the development of today's interior design industry and talents cultivation. Threedimensional (3D) computer-aided simulation is a technology that uses computerrelated software to design, express, generate, process, and display 3D graphics. The application of this technology to interior design teaching program enables students to have an intuitive experience of space volume, material, proportion, color and other aspects and preview the design effect, thereby greatly improving classroom efficiency. Therefore, on the basis of summarizing and analyzing previous research works, this paper first expounded the research status and significance of interior design teaching optimization, elaborated the development background, current status and future challenges of 3D computer-aided simulation, then proposed the curriculum construction optimization of interior design based on 3D computer-aided simulation including strategic optimization and structural optimization. Through the analysis of the teaching practice optimization of interior design based on 3D computer-aided simulation including teaching system optimization and practice system optimization, the paper discussed the teaching optimization mode and its realization paths of interior design based on 3D computer-aided simulation. Finally, the paper provided a reference for the further researches on teaching optimization of interior design based on 3D computer-aided simulation.

As time goes by, new design concepts, design ideas and design expression methods are constantly developing and changing. Therefore, the teaching methods in interior design subject are also facing various challenges and it is necessary to keep pace with the times and optimize its teaching environment in order to meet the development needs of today's interior design teaching [1] . In traditional interior design classes, teachers are often only able to teach students through picture information combined with theoretical knowledge in textbooks. Islamoglu and Deger (2015) pointed out that the lack of simulated drills makes students unable to accurately grasp the essence of knowledge they have learned and cannot apply relevant knowledge to practices [2] . In addition, if students need to make manual drawings and interior design models by hand, not only will it take a lot of time during this period, but it will also be detrimental to teachers' comprehensive evaluation of students' design ability. Because the professional knowledge of interior design is relatively complex, many teachers describe the 3D space very abstractly, and often need to rely on some small models to assist in the explanation. However, this kind of design model cannot bring intuitive feelings to students, so classroom efficiency is generally low [3] . With the functional development of computer drawing software and the advancement of informatization teaching reform, computer-aided simulation has greatly promoted the development of interior design teaching. The introduction of 3D computer-aided simulation can enable students to get a more intuitive experience and a clearer understanding o

FAQs

What role does threedimensional (3D) computer-aided simulation play in interior design teaching?

It enables students to experience space volume, materials, proportions, and color intuitively and to preview design effects, improving classroom efficiency.

How does the paper optimize interior design curriculum using 3D computer-aided simulation?

It proposes curriculum construction optimization with strategic optimization and structural optimization, covering both teaching system and practice system optimization.

Why are traditional interior design teaching methods considered insufficient?

Traditional instruction often relies on picture information and theoretical explanations, and manual drawing or model-making can be time-consuming and limits teachers’ ability to evaluate design skills comprehensively.
