Sharing Lives in Architecture Design Studio Culture: Dialogue on Experimental Pedagogy

Abstract

The studio pedagogy of architectural aura bears a lot of weight on the relationships amongst University students as studio mates and between faculties, since this contract develops into a potential culture of cognitive settings, where standards set by the task force of AIAS, 2008); American Institute of Architecture Students, “Towards an evolution of Studio Culture” that a vision of design studio culture is proposed. Architecture design studios are run on emotional energy of student’s interaction and contemplations on design work produced in studios, since current change in design environment through digital media influence has evolved the nature of design approach, gradually diminishing the concepts of sharing and collaborative work. To reconcile, a case study on experimental design studio environment is considered which investigates an alternate perspective for students to grow in a vigorous and creative learning atmosphere. An experimental study was conducted at a University premises in the Department of Architecture, signifying efforts in setting standards of design studio environment and envisioning the impacts of collaborative work for enduring learning expectancy, as per the observations and analytical benchmarks defined by the AIAS task force in multiple conference research agendas.
