IN the rapidly evolving field of architecture, the ability to visualize and manipulate space is paramount. Thus, spatial intelligence, the capacity to generate and operate mental images to solve problems, is essential for success in architectural design. It is demanded at a high level in architecture, allowing professionals to visualize structures and spaces in three dimensions. This ability is crucial for creating innovative and functional designs.

Studies have also shown a strong correlation between spatial ability and success in STEM disciplines, including architecture. Improving spatial intelligence early in an architect's education can lead to better academic performance and more effective problem-solving skills in design.
