The study involved 11 workshops with architecture students, using various qualitative methods. Analysis techniques were employed, including interaction analysis and thematic analysis. The research made three significant contributions: (1) advancing understanding of how PBAR fosters motivation and engagement in collaborative learning, (2) introducing new design activities and techniques for collaborative learning in AR, and (3) providing initial evidence of improved engagement and collaboration in architectural education through PBAR.225enArchitecture designAugmented realityProjection Based Augmented RealityInteraction designInteractive architectureArchitecture educationInnovative technologiesThesis
