Reflection on the 1st episode - Design Process in Architecture Studio Curriculum

Send us Fan MailAfter almost 4 years since we first published the 1st episode called "Design Process in Architecture Studio Curriculum" which is the most listened-to episode in the Talk Architecture podcast, a reflection on the topic in terms of 'design methodology' and the studio curriculum is deliberated in this episode.A methodology is a system of methods and principles for doing something (Collins, 2023).The fact that different schools of architecture practice different methodologies as we have observed, shows that there is not one philosophy in architecture. Is that a good or bad thing for the profession? This is not a recent phenomenon as I recall in the 1980s we talked of the more theoretical school and the more practical school.
