Design studios
Design Studios
The Design Studio forms an integral part of the learning culture in the school. Design tutorials and seminars constitute the main ingredient of your learning experience. In the design studio you will learn from your peers as well as your tutors. You will learn to receive feedback on your work and reflect on that critique.
The Design Studio is a melting pot of ideas and concepts, discoveries and resolutions, and is often the holistic arena that encourages students to combine the many disciplines that make up architecture and interiors, such as design, technology, cultural context, communications, etc.
However, the Design Studio is not merely a space, but an environment. Without students, the studio is just a room. As a student, the more you put into your Design Studio, the more you will get out.
