The current study examines the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on architectural education, focusing on its challenges and implications on students, educators, and institutions, and the opportunities that emerged from the incorporation of online/distance and blended learning in architectural education during the pandemic. Based on observations and literature reviews, this study identifies contemporary challenges and proposes three educational approaches for the transition to a model for architectural education in a digital age considering Covid-19 pandemic opportunities. These educational approaches are based on improving networking, exploration, and flexibility & adaptation, implementing transdisciplinary approach, and integrating information and communication technologies (ICT) in architectural education, in relation to learning design elements. The study presents a model using an instructional approach that provides a vision for post-pandemic architectural education and identifies challenges for educators and institutions for further investigation. This study responds to the call on the pandemic's impact on traditional architectural education.
