| Abstract |
Architectural design studio has getting changed to research studio corresponding to changes of building community and architect education. So this study searches the characteristics of research-enhanced architectural design studio by investigating six M.Arch programs of MIT, Yale, USYD, UTS, ENSAPLV and ENSAPM. Firstly, graduation studios were constituted together with a thesis or report showing one's research ability. Secondly, classes each semester were opened with three compulsory or elective subjects and one design studio having a half of required credits. Thirdly, projects of studio were related with the current issues, metropolitan expedition worldwide, technology and media, and special streams which needed data collection, inquiry and research searching for interpretation responding to new and unfamiliar situation. Fourthly, learning and teaching methods were from site visit, data collection, analysis and interpretation for exploring new design approach. Accordingly data collection, analysis and inquiry time was getting longer than building design time. As a conclusion, research-enhanced design studio draws on the processes of information gathering, analysis, and synthesis that an architect undertakes in the early phases of design, students should not go with the flow but rather redirect it utterly, remaking the terrain through which flows travel by team work with colleague and teaching staff. |
