Introducing Creative Space: Architectural Design Studio for Architecture Students; Challenges and Aspirations
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Social Science and Humanities - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
The architectural design educational process is one of the most challenging and creative ones especially when dealing with sophomore students. The challenge in this case is relatively high amid the urge to deliver functional knowledge, spatial recognition as well as help the students explore what real meaning of architecture and creative spaces they are ready to embrace. The main challenge is how to deliver several issues related to creativity, form generation, design development as well as basics of structure and standards of functional use. This has to be implemented and delivered to the architecture students in a totalitarian and comprehensive method, in addition to leaving adequate space for each and every student to experiment and add his own values and backgrounds to the design process. Thus, the paper aims to explore and discuss an experimental design studio introduced in two consecutive studios tailored for sophomore architectural students based on a case study implemented by the author. The paper aims to introduce a method for introducing the design process to students through an inside out process which helps the students start their design education in a method which encourages creativity side by side with applying the basic standards. In order to explore this in a comprehensive approach, the paper will thoroughly discuss the process applied in both design studios, and analyze the process and development of six selected students work from both groups, with special analysis of the creativity of the selected material, the qualities of space and the reaction to context and function. This will be re-addressed in the shadows of a brief literature review of the introduction of architectural education to students. The paper concludes with a set of recommendations useful for designers and educators for improving the quality and process of architectural design education.
