Construction of an immersive teaching model for architectural history using UE5 and knowledge graphs
基于UE5与知识图谱的建筑史沉浸式教学模式构建研究

摘要

建筑史教学存在空间认知断层与知识体系碎片化问题，本研究据此提出一种沉浸式教学模式，该模式基于虚幻引擎5（UE5）与知识图谱技术构建。把建筑历史知识以本体化形式重组织，达成历史空间的数字化转译与多维交互。运用混合式学习理论，以认知迁移原理为依据，开发出基于UE5蓝图的零代码交互系统，如此一来，学习者能在虚拟环境中开展具身认知。研究认为，该模式可有效提升学习者的空间感知能力与对历史语境的理解，突破传统教学里的认知降维困境。研究构建了建筑知识图谱可视化绘制方法，实现了高精度模型跨平台快速导入，推动建筑史教学从静态展示转向动态探索模式，最终形成以设计思维为核心的低代码教学实践路径，为建筑教育信息化提供创新性解决方案。

Abstract

There exist issues of spatial cognition disconnection and fragmented knowledge systems in architectural history teaching. Based on this, this study proposes an immersive teaching model constructed using Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) and knowledge graph technology. It reorganizes architectural historical knowledge in an ontological form to achieve digital translation and multi-dimensional interaction of historical spaces. By applying blended learning theory and based on the principle of cognitive transfer, a zero-code interactive system developed with UE5 Blueprints enables learners to engage in embodied cognition within virtual environments. The study argues that this model can effectively enhance learners' spatial perception abilities and understanding of historical contexts, overcoming the cognitive reduction dilemma in traditional teaching. The research establishes a visual method for constructing architectural knowledge graphs, enabling high-precision model cross-platform rapid importation, and shifts architectural history teaching from static presentation to dynamic exploration. Ultimately, it forms a low-code teaching practice path centered on design thinking, providing an innovative solution for architectural education informatization.
