<p>&quot;To analyze current studio practices, we have attempted to <br />frame this examination much like a design problem. To <br />address the critical issues facing architectural education, <br />we must do what we do best: research, examine, critique, <br />determine roles, and design.&quot; <br />&amp;nbsp; <br />The first part of this report, Studio Culture Critiqued, <br />explores the current state of studio education, examines <br />outside forces impacting architecture education, and calls <br />for change in studio culture. Describing Studio Culture <br />analyzes the historical roots of studio culture, states a <br />series of myths prevalent within studio education, and <br />discusses other elements that characterize this culture. In <br />the section titled Current Aspects of Studio Culture, we <br />provide a more in-depth commentary on twelve topics that <br />we feel most be questioned in order to design a more <br />successful studio culture. New Visions, Shared Values <br />proposes five values, Optimism, Respect, Sharing, <br />Engagement, and Innovation which we believe could <br />serve as the foundation for necessary change. In the <br />portion titled, A Call to Action, we have suggested roles <br />that students, educators, administrators, and organizations <br />can play in shaping a new future for architecture <br />education. A New Program for the Design of Studio <br />Culture lists a number of goals that can be embraced in <br />creating change. Finally, the Afterward section includes a <br />description of the process of the Studio Culture Task <br />Force’s efforts, acknowledgements to essential individuals, <br />and a list of works cited. <br /> and ArchVoices Reading: [Dec 6, 2002] Studio Culture</p>
