Designing a learning space for creativity and collaboration: from studio to computer lab in design education

Daniel, Ryan;Fleischmann, Katja

Abstract

This chapter contributes to the anthology on learning spaces in higher education by exploring the extent to which the computer lab and other formal and informal learning spaces offer a viable alternative to the traditional design studio in supporting students to learn collaboratively and be creative. We define learning space as the various places where teaching and learning occur, including formal and informal locations as well as those in both physical and virtual environments. After reading this chapter, you will: 1. have a deeper understanding of the key features of learning spaces that support successful cross-disciplinary and creative collaboration; 2. have insights into how students view a range of typical formal and informal learning spaces in higher education; and 3. be able to reflect on how the best features of traditional learning spaces might be replicated in new forms of physical learning spaces.
