The Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research implemented the "Studio" Program in 2007 to bring together experts to provide free, structured, project-specific feedback for medical researchers. Studios are a series of integrated, dynamic, and interactive roundtable discussions that bring relevant research experts from diverse academic disciplines together to focus on a specifi...

In the developing world, skills in innovation and creative design have emerged as key attributes for graduating designers. Creativity is essential if we want to generate new solutions to the considerable and complex problems in architecture. Metaphor is frequently expressed as a key tool for enhancing creative design, yet little empirical research has been performed on how novice designers can ...

Within the context of an introductory CS1 unit on algorithmic problem-solving, we are exploring the pedagogical value of a novel active learning activity—the “studio experience”—that actively engages learners with algorithm visualization technology. In a studio experience, student pairs are tasked with (a) developing a solution to an algorithm design problem, (b) constructing an accompanying vi...

The School of Arts and Communication at Malmö University organizes research in cross-disciplinary designoriented studios. A newly established research studio is concerned with the design of technology-augmented creative environments. In this paper we present the conceptual framework underlying the research projects in the studio and give examples of research initiatives. The studio investigates...

COVID-19 outbreak has set the beginning of new normal in many parts world. The impact was recognized all sectors, including higher education. Many ways teaching and learning are taking place. Despite lockdowns social distancing that transformed on-site classrooms to online classrooms, architecture design studio programs should also adapt respond pandemic as well contribute society by real-world...

This paper describes a pedagogical experiment in which a suite of novel blended learning strategies was used to replace the traditional role of design tutors in a first year architectural design studio. The pedagogical objectives, blended learning strategies and outcomes of the course are detailed. While the quality of the student design work produced by the blended learning design studio was i...

There is a feeling among many design educators today that the discipline has reached a crisis in its development, and that change is needed immediately in the way that design educators articulate their epistemology and their methodology. The architectural studio can be seen as the model for design education, and its culture is exemplary. Donald Schön has often argued that the professional educa...

The absence of software support for early-stage design suggests that conventional graphical user interfaces are inadequate for this task. Perceptual interaction – in particular, pen-based interaction – may afford more natural and intuitive user interfaces for design support. The development of a multimodal intelligent design studio poses several important research challenges. Natural multimodal...
