Excerpts from the Introduction by Ashraf M. Salama and Nicholas WilkinsonTitled: Legacies for the Future of Design Studio Pedagogy


"………Contemporary societies are in a continuous process of transformations and learning systems should respond to the changes associated with these transformations. Design and built environment professions are no exception and thus corresponding changes in education are crucially needed. There are continuous attempts to massage and modify design studio teaching practices, to re-configure the structure of studio content, and the way in which knowledge is delivered and experienced. However, consensus is lacking on the issue of what changes and developments in studio pedagogy will best meet the needs of design professions while supporting the aspirations of contemporary societies. In response, Design Studio Pedagogy: Horizons for the Future presents thoughts, ideas, and experiments of educators of different generations, different academic backgrounds, who are teaching and conducting research in different cultural contexts. It simply probes future universal visions within which the needs of future shapers of the built environment can be conceptualized and the design pedagogy that satisfies those needs can be debated. Since education is the cornerstone of any design profession, since the 'approach to' and the 'content of' that education is the bedrock for creating responsive built environments, and since the design studio is the backbone of architectural education, it is imperative that design studio pedagogy needs to be encountered in its broadest sense. As well, it is essential to deal with the subject as a rich field of research whose knowledge base, content, methods, tools and techniques can be examined and questioned. …………

This book addresses academics, practitioners, graduate students, and those who make decisions about the educational system. It offers a web of experiences and thoughts while laying the foundation to debate aspects, rituals, and future visions of studio pedagogy and their impact on design professions. This is not all; its value lies in the fact that it does not only provide visions —from different parts of the world-- on the body of knowledge required for successful studio teaching, but introduces actual experiences that would help transform this knowledge into guiding practices. Such visions and experiences represent prospects for future design studio pedagogy articulated in a conscious endeavor toward the betterment of the built environment: Design Studio Pedagogy: Horizons for the Future."

Architecture-Urbanism is dedicated to a) those who are interested in creating livable and sustainable environments and buildings that meet socio-cultural and socio-behavioral needs of people, environments that are responsive to historical, traditional and physical constraints, b) to those who are interested in finding panacea for the ills of our globalized world, and c) to those who are interested in regaining what cultures and societies have lost by the acts of architects. ____________________________________________________________________________
