Architectural design studio, online architectural education, age of crises, studio practicesAbstract
This research approaches online architectural design studios-experienced during crisis situations such as the pandemic and earthquakes- not as temporary emergency solutions, but as a structural breaking point where the crisis, as a permanent condition of the Anthropocene era, transforms architectural pedagogy at the level of knowledge production and legitimacy. Designed within a phenomenological framework, the research is based on semi-structured interviews with 11 architecture lecturers in Turkey. Content analysis reveals two main areas of transformation: “pedagogical transformation” and “the transformation of design and representation tools”. This research argues that online studio experiences offer a transformative space that enables the rethinking of pedagogical approaches, design and representation tools in architectural education, rather than merely serving as temporary solutions specific to times of crisis.
