Abstract This study aims to develop the design principles of studio space through case analyses and a design exercise in order to provide organizational ideas for the formulation of integrative educational space for STEAM. Characteristics of integrative education was studied to identify the space requirements. Similarity between STEAM and architectural studio education was argued, and 14 cases of studio design were analysed and space organization principles were developed with the result. During the process of study, four categories of designed aspects are observed such as 1. intervention of sights 2. high ceiling space 3. organizational flexibility 4. encounter of exterior environment. They are used as the premises of analysis for the development of the 7 space organization methods: 1.Visual communication of multi-layered space 2.Actively-used connecting space 3.Vertically diverging space 4.Multi-leveled space 5.Blurring space boundary 6.Intercommunication of in/out spaces 7.Introducing natural light. Then the methods of space organization are applied in the architectural design project of a elementary school STEAM space.
