Abstract

The studio is a space apart in the university, an environment unique to creative and design
disciplines. As we emerge into the pre-dawn light of the post-COVID era, we should use the
insight gained from the pandemic to speculate about the future. This article invites the reader
to speculate about the possibility of a smaller design studio in architectural education: one that
is smaller in its spatial, temporal, pedagogical and cultural dimensions. What if, instead of
demonstrating the plurality of architectural practice through the breadth and diversity of
elective studio ‘units’, we reduce the scope of design courses to create space for others?
