In the history of art and architecture, the studio has been privileged as the space for the production of design work. It continues to have central importance in supporting the creative aims of our academic programmes. Creativity is activated in the studio through the methodological rigour of experimentation.

Students in the architectural design programme, Year 3 and onwards have individual, 24-hour-accessible, studio spaces. Year 1 and 2 have day time studio access. This facilitates various kinds of teaching and learning experience - individual project work, small group discussion, study groups, formal seminars, screenings, presentation of reviews of design work, and formal exhibitions. Students are actively encouraged to fully colonise the studio spaces in the building.
