Campus Studio & Practice Studio

Students benefit from both knowledge in practice and university as part of the learning process. Our program defines student learning in two categories: Campus Studio and Practice Studio. While the Campus Studio provides a structured programme in the University to develop theoretical design thinking, the Practice Studio is a hands-on experience through partnership with architectural firms and construction projects in the building industry.

Students Learning Time between M.Arch PESISIR and Mainstream

Students gain theoretical and practical experience both in the academia and in architectural practice. During office hours, students are mentored by professional architects and in the University, students are mentored by both architectural scholars and practitioners to develop theoretical and viable ideas for their design projects.

Involvement of Academics and Professionals during the Campus Studio

Throughout the semester, students are guided through personal tutorials with Workbase Masters and through the involvement of various professionals in the form of internal or external panels and in a series of crit sessions. The various evaluations and feedback from the multiple experts provide a comprehensive teaching and learning dialog within the student's design project.

Face-to-Face and Online Design studios

The semesters were conducted in a variety of ways, practicing both online and face-to-face teaching and learning. Some semesters were conducted online while others were supposed to be completely face-to-face until the government enacted the Movement Control Order (MCO). However, this did not hinder the students and faculty to establish the design studios through online and virtual participation.
