Outside the school: A review of the non-formal short-term architectural workshops

Over the last fifteen years, apart from compulsory curricular studios, extracurricular intensive studios in architectural design (ISAD) have become a mainstream educational environment worldwide. ISADs cover an actual weight non-formal education. However, to date, there is no review on methods, processes, or implementation of ISADs. The field needs enhance visibility workshop results with regular reporting activities raise awareness among future professionals and wider public. This aims make visible existing learning-teaching-experiencing environments pedagogical conditions, practices, tendencies, implementations study follows three stages. It first conducts scoping examine research outputs indexed SCOPUS Web Science January 1975 September 2020. Second, it expands pool by including past reached via websites/papers. codes each themes determined through study. Finally, creates interactive mapping detailing following analysis: (1) Quantitative analysis (Geographical distribution; outputs; principles, as elements creating atmosphere tactics); (2) Qualitative reveal impact interested stakeholders. suggests that ISADs, their processes outputs, contribute knowledge triangle architecture serving two fundamental roles: A research-by-design activity address socio-economic-ecological problems caused built environment; pioneering venture improving curriculum practices teaching learning. Within scope exigencies education field, this uncovers potential overcoming time-related, geographical, economic limitations; providing fresh perspectives content methods concerning education; expanding intellectual resources students; enabling international collaboration between HEIs; breeding experimental/flexible learning 1st 2nd cycles absorb ever-changing tools/methods promoted professional/research sides field. provides reader array diverse these non/informal grounds. number workshops included relatively small, therefore, researchers are encouraged expand for further analysis.
