Question of Pedagogy, Part 3. Having taught second-year design studio for half of my academic life, I have always wondered how first year design exercises would benefit by being extended into architecture, thus having students learn the foundations of design and architecture sequentially, but through a single project.  

Question of Pedagogy, Part 2. Rarely have I wavered from my interest in teaching the discipline of architecture, one that is historically defined as a spatial art form. But on the few occasions that I have, it was because students took their research into such innovative and compelling directions that I could only lend them my full support.  

Question of Pedagogy, Part 1. As a student, I remember fondly our first studio day of the semester. It was always magic and full of promise. The faculty member would introduce her or himself, describe the expected requirements for a healthy studio culture, and proceed to share thoughts on the pedagogical intentions offered by the program’s brief.
