<p class="Keywords">Integration of human knowledge principle has been widespread in the world of Islamic education, including in Indonesia. Partially seen as an attempt to build a school of thought of architecture education, the principle opens the discussion on the discursive level of design thinking. This paper reveals an explorative effort to translate the idea into a class experiment in an architectural design studio. This class experimental research uses a content analysis of students’ reflective writing who involve the design process that deliberately begins with the introduction of revealed knowledge (Arabic: <em>wahy</em>) in Architectural Design Studio 7 at the Department of Architecture, Universitas Islam Indonesia. In conclusion, it has formulated a dynamic and multi-dimensional construction of design thinking based on the integration of knowledge</p>

Literature on current architectural pedagogy have posited the issue that architectural education lacked change and questioned whether current studio teaching provides adequate design-thinking education and connection to the real world. The increasing importance on the relationship between architecture, community, and place sets a backdrop as a catalyst for improvement within the field, particularly in how this relationship frames the teaching and learning within the design studio. Using an architectural design studio module conducted in the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Architecture programme at Taylor's University, this chapter discusses the principles for an alternative design studio pedagogy and the values it brings about. The author argues that design education underpinned by “people” and “place” engages students' increased interesting and motivation for learning, with the awareness and sensitivities to the real and scholarly setting, hence bridging the gap between reality and education.

Studios. This ability gained through visual design thinking. The spatial experience honed by three dimensional thinking from the medium diversity. The spatial experience learned through a room layout, proportion, and composition. This research used an experimental method and the primary data obtained by a “Likert” scale questionnaire. The Respondents are 50 students of the Architectural Design Studio. Moreover, the analysis focuses on the VR for spatial experience. The result was a descriptive explanation of the effectiveness of Virtual Reality for a spatial experience of architecture students at Technology University of Yogyakarta.

Architectural design studios aim to teach students the fundamental design thinking. Well-structured studio may help the students to explore the global responses and develop projects focused on the current conditions of the society. This study focuses on the adaptation of the proposed unit system for third year architectural design studio. The adaptation process of the proposed unit system analyzed with the description of the previous system. This study discusses the positive outcomes of the new proposed unit teaching method at School of Architecture, Yasar University.

Learning experiences of the students of Architecture for the Design Studio from first year of Architecture Education to fifth-year, students learning experiences as interrelational, perceive the experiences as transitional, and understand that their learning experiences aid in the production of outcomes. Studio culture is generated partially by a student culture that encompasses interaction, which affect learning experiences. This study explores the meaning students make their learning experiences in the design studio, which are affected by interaction.

This chapter presents a digitally supported approach to creative thinking through diagrammatic visuals. Diagrammatic visuals can support designing by evoking thoughts and by raising open questions in conversational exchanges with designers. It focuses on the educational context of the architectural design studio, and introduces a software tool, named Algogram, which allows designers to employ diagrams in challenging conventional assumptions and for generating new ideas. Results from testing the tool and the way of approaching conceptual designing encouraged by it within an undergraduate design studio suggest a potential for refocusing of attention in digital design support development towards diagrams. In addition to the conventional emphasis on the variety of tool features and the ability of the tool to assist representational modeling of form, this chapter shows how a diagram-based approach can acknowledge and harness the creative potential of designers’ constructive seeing.

PurposeIn the context of architecture education, design studio projects usually start with “research” on the design theme and the context, but often there is no strong link between this research and its application in the project and the resultant design product. This paper explores strategies which link knowledge acquisition and knowledge application in design studio teaching and learning.Design/methodology/approachThese strategies have been applied in several design studios and master’s theses and involve sixteen years of research by the author through observation, surveys and analysis of student work.FindingsThe results show that these strategies are not limited to the design studio, with more than half of them (eight out of fourteen) also applicable in theoretical subjects that sit outside the design studio unit and generate knowledge of relevance to studio projects. As such, the paper advocates for a multi-level approach involving the following: course design and curriculum development, teaching and learning pedagogies and organizational decisions regarding the deployment of staff as for collaborative team-based teaching.Research limitations/implicationsThe results also recognize the relevance of problem-based and project-based learning to the broader higher education context and its dependence on a collaborative approach.Originality/valueThis paper which synthesizes this work contributes to the literature on architecture pedagogy, specifically that related to the integration of theoretical and practical subjects.

Sustainability is a term that there is no exact definition that is accepted for everyone. But the main acceptance is that goods and services that use resources that can be replaced. As it is clear that climate change is one of the big problems of the world nowadays, sustainability becomes an important subject of the world. Day by day people become more conscious about sustainability and try to live environmentally friendly. In such a condition sustainability in architectural design becomes more important. In this paper applying sustainability concepts on architectural design is discussed. In the third year architectural design studio students are supposed to design a sustainable project that is respectable to the environment and also using renewable energy sources. The aim of this paper is to put forward integration of sustainability with respect to material usage in architectural design. The projects of third year studio students are taken as a case study and integration of sustainable structures and materials to architectural design is discussed.
