The chapter titled “A Critical Review on the Various Issues and Challenges of Virtual Pedagogy in Architecture

 Education” delves into the transition to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on

 architecture education. It highlights significant issues faced by students and educators, such as the lack of

 physical interaction, limited access to essential tools and resources, technical difficulties, and mental health

 challenges. By reviewing global case studies, the chapter identifies these hurdles while discussing the

 inadequacy of existing infrastructures and pedagogical strategies in delivering effective virtual learning. It

 concludes with recommendations, including adopting hybrid teaching models, improving digital tools, and

 addressing mental health concerns to enhance the overall educational experience in architecture.
