SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

The main aim of this project is to inform the future design of learning spaces, interior arrangement, and building typologies associated with the school of architecture, in order to facilitate the changing pedagogical practices needed to support a mass higher education system with its greater student diversity. Architectural education itself is a student-centered course; learning by doing, project-based learning. Design studios should be seen as both personal and collaborative spaces. Interaction and exchange are integral parts of architectural education. This report examines how architecture schools are closed boxes that can function as integrated communities by balancing their main functions such as learning, socializing, and sharing ideas. One size does not fit all. Therefore, one environment is not suitable for different student merit processes. New learning environments such as technology-integrated immersive individual and group learning environments are important. The main goal is therefore to create a flexible new learning environment that respects student freedom and encourages them to be more creative.
