There are many ways of expressing threshold in to architectural design considering the terms mentioned above. In this paper different ways of expressing “threshold” term in to the architectural design is discussed. For this purpose third year architecture design studio is taken as a case study. The student projects by the ways of defining and expressing the threshold term in to design is taken in consideration. The aim of this paper to put forward the integration of various meanings of threshold in to the architectural design by the case studies that are obtained from the architectural design studio.

The current landscape of architectural education has been predominantly based on studio teaching the mode of teaching that can be traced back in the age of French L’Ecole des Beaux Arts. It was during the Beaux Arts era that studio teaching and jury system first deve-loped, and it continues today. The approach is characterized by the use of atelier (studio) for coaching, where juniors learn from seniors and competition among students are the norm. The approach also presumes that architects are the provider of design services who think that they are more competent than their clients in solving the design problem; which is a paradox to the fact that most parts of the built environment anywhere in the world are the creation of ordinary people. In other words, ordinary people can contribute significantly to the decision making within the architectural design process. They can actually be treated as a partner of architects in designing their building, which is what Co-Design all about. This paper aims to describe the introduction of Co-Design approach in architectural design studio teaching at Universitas Islam Indonesia. The research questions this paper intends to respond: to what extent could Co-Design be adopted in architectural design teaching? What lessons have the students learned from their experience in involving people in the urban design process? The case study methods employed in this research, through which author looks at the Co- Design teaching delivery in the Architectural Design Studio 7 in the past three years. While overall result of the study shows that time limitation has constrained the students’ community engagement, most cases examined reveal that introduction of Co-Design approach has paved the way for students to understand how ordinary people contribute to the shaping of the urban built environment.

An Architectural design studio is the most utilised space in architectural education, which functions learning as well as hands-on experience of architectural education subjects. It not only has the enormous potential of creating a playful and lively learning environment but also to energise the students. Its architectural design can be explored from the environmental psychology perspective. This research paper is an attempt to analyse and study the environmental psychology perspectives in architectural design of architectural design studio in the Ahmednagar district region. The effects of environmental stressors like temperature, humidity, ventilation, light, colour and noise on students studying in an architectural design studio are analysed. The methodology used in this paper is the quantitative survey research method. A case study through the structured questionnaire surveys of an architectural design studio in the Ahmednagar district region conducted to study the differences between desired and actual interior environmental conditions of the design studio. Data based on environmental psychology perspectives are analysed, and the outcome of this study is expected to be used as recommendations for new architectural studio design proposals in the Ahmednagar district region.
