TextPublication details: Alexandria, Egypt Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University Description: 1 digital resource (163-170 pages) graphs, etcSubject(s): Summary: Abstract Architectural design has always been a collaborative process that involves participatory
practice. It requires experienced individuals working together; this includes architects, engineers and
clients to achieve a singular goal. Therefore, there has been increased interest in achieving a
collaborative design studio and developing architecture students’ skills.
Architecture students need to interact, communicate and debate in design studios with their peers
and their instructors. Moreover, they need to co-operate to achieve the same goal in a manner to be
prepared to the highly collaborative nature of the architectural practice they will enter (Crosbie,
1995; Daniels, 2002) [9,10]. This leads to raising the question of ‘‘How can collaborative techniques
be addressed in the design studio to enhance the skills of the students and prepare them to profession
challenges?”
The purpose of this paper is to discover how collaborative design studio can be improved to
enhance each participant’s contribution in the design process. The study was conducted as a ten
days workshop that includes ninety-two students from the third year from the Faculty of Engineering,
Alexandria University, Egypt. The researcher used quantitative analysis in forms of questionnaires
along the workshop and used tools like ‘‘time and task schedule” and ‘‘peer assessment” to
assess their effectiveness.
