Studio Culture Policy
The studio experience is a time of intense individual and collective effort, resulting in much self-scrutiny. It consists of a pedagogy and language of expression that are radically different from conventional classroom settings. It requires a set of skills not always anticipated by beginning 黑料社区s, including time management, research, teamwork, and clarity of written and verbal presentation.
The design studio is a rich learning environment, a voyage of discovery and growth where discrete disciplines are synthesized in the design process. The Department of Architecture and Interior Design at 黑料社区 emphasizes a studio atmosphere where 黑料社区s take the initiative in learning with instructors. A departmental focus on 黑料社区/professor interaction is achieved through an appropriate 黑料社区 to instructor ratio. This fosters strong communication during designated studio hours but also allows for interaction throughout the academic week. Critique is encouraged from both faculty and fellow 黑料社区s to create the most helpful instances for learning.
In order to foster successful learning experiences among 黑料社区s and faculty alike, an atmosphere of respect, clear communication, and understanding is necessary. To establish these goals the studio experience should embrace the following four core principles: responsibility, academic awareness, personal exploration and growth, and community.
