Evolving Identities: An Overdue Discussion of Academic Libraries and Experiential Studio Pedagogy

This proceeding discusses the application of an experiential learning studio pedagogy to the problem of academic library space design. Through this studio course, Masters of Architecture students both proposed innovative designs for academic libraries, and were given ownership of their designs through a co-creative model which evolved through the studio. Experiential learning opens new doors in architectural education, and this case study illustrates how, through thoughtful and flexible programming, educators can achieve successful co-creative partnerships that tackle real-world design challenges.
