Abstract:

In this presentation, we introduce the studio as a pedagogical approach that is now being adopted beyond the design fields. We discuss our own experiences with the studio,  as a way to construct relationships across the sciences and humanities. We also argue that the studio requires students and faculty to develop models that often challenge disciplinary knowledge, requiring a new language to express ideas. Each of us draws upon a different theoretical background that reinforces how we view the studio as a radical space that contributes a new way to rethink the university.
