Abstract

Concepts of space and place are fairly straightforward, but the ways in which they are negotiated through inhabitation prove somewhat more difficult. The design studio provides a unique educational environment to examine in more detail the negotiation of place both within and outside the studio walls. Highly social, densely interactive, full of conflicting goals, needs, means and methods - a healthy studio contains many of the essential ingredients necessary to help us learn about the potentials of negotiated place.
