There is something very special about the studio as a place of practice and learning. It allows designers, students, educators and researchers to imagine the world as it might be, facilitating playful creation and critical exploration across a diverse range of design disciplines. This open access book examines the essential properties of the studio within the complex landscape of design education as a place for experimentation and development. Brought together by a team of experts in design pedagogy, Studio Properties is both a tool for education and an inspiration for developing teaching and learning techniques in the studio setting. The text is based around: - Properties - short descriptions of entities that the reader might encounter in the design education studio - Narratives - semi-biographical accounts of studio teaching which offer a way of seeing the studio from a new perspective - Essays - which set out some of the theory, frames and ideas that underpin contemporary studio research, as well as historic cultures and practices Motivated by the absence of a comprehensive book on studio pedagogy, this guide is aimed at both those teaching within a studio setting and those interested in the scholarship of design education. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Open University.

Klappentext

There is something special about a studio as a place of practice and learning.

Studio is a complex form of teaching and learning. If you have not experienced studio, it may seem mysterious, even chaotic. If you have experienced studio, you may want to know more about how and why it works. Either way, Studio Properties will deepen your understanding of studio to help you teach, research, or administer design education more effectively and with greater confidence and creativity.

Use Studio Properties like a field guide. You will discover the components of studio broken down into individual properties. You will find clear descriptions and a wealth of research references that illuminate studio. You will be guided in understanding the relationships between properties without being limited to one model or approach.

In this innovative and non-linear book, available in print, ebook and open access, six internationally renowned and award-winning educators and researchers from various studio disciplines invite you to explore familiar and less-familiar aspects of studio.

The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Open University.
