摘要

The aim of the paper is to suggest new methods of studio teaching and suggestions to revamp the curriculum which meets the present-day needs of practice. An experimental study is conducted to overcome the problem of pedagogy in architectural design studio. The responsibility of an architect is not limited to design of buildings esthetically pleasing and functional but also environmentally responsible. To achieve this, the sustainable strategies is to be integrated into the architectural studio education and practice. The aim of this paper is to present a novel approach to teaching architectural design studios by establishing a contextual design studio that is distinct from the conventional design studio (CDS). This experimental studio education provides a hands-on learning environment where students can experiment with the principles of sustainability and green rating system and application of design strategies. This paper includes the findings of qualitative data and discuss the futuristic pedagogy to revamp the curriculum. By incorporating sustainability into the studio curriculum, students can learn to design buildings that are energy-efficient and promote sustainable development (SD). The need for sustainable design has led to a greater emphasis on architecture students’ education. The objectives achieved through literature study, data collection, and analysis through qualitative approaches by means of interviews and surveys. The analysis included on different approaches to embrace sustainable education to enrich design studios to make the students or the future professionals’ market ready. The methods discussed in this paper includes creative learning environments, studio culture, cooperative design studios, design juries, and jury as an expression of values and beliefs.
