Studio Properties: A field guide to design education (edited by Derek Jones , Elizabeth Boling, James Benedict Brown , James Corazzo, Colin M. Gray, Nicole Lotz)
Derek Jones and Alice Hellard explore the concept of design studio as a transformative educational approach that extends beyond physical space to encompass social dynamics, extended cognition, and embodied knowledge.
• Design studio is not just a physical space but a collection of practices involving social interaction, extended cognition, and listening in
• Virtual design studios reveal important insights about how students learn through observation and "legitimate peripheral learning"
• The process of enculturation into design practices requires students to develop confidence in the language and methods of design
• Studio practice allows students to externalize thinking through models and drawings as part of the cognitive process
• Current assessment frameworks often fail to recognize or value the types of knowledge central to design practice
• Implementing aspects of studio practice in secondary schools faces challenges but offers opportunities for more authentic design education
• Students need opportunities to design without predetermined outcomes, though this creates tensions with traditional assessment models
