Studio Culture
Studio Culture (n.): The experiences, habits and patterns found within the architecture design studio.Those who have studied architecture undoubtedly have vivid memories that characterize their design studio experience. Late nights, exciting projects, extreme dedication, lasting friendships, long hours, punishing critiques, unpredictable events, a sense of community, and personal sacrifice all come to mind. Those aspects are not usually written into the curriculum or even the design assignments, but they are likely the most memorable and influential. The experiences, habits, and patterns found within the architecture design studio make up what we have termed "studio culture."
NAAB Condition 3.5 on Studio Culture
"The school is expected to demonstrate a positive and respectful learning environment through the encouragement of the fundamental values of optimism, respect, sharing, engagement and innovation between and among the members of its faculty, student body, administration and staff. The school should encourage students and faculty to appreciate these values along with an understanding of time management as guiding principles of professional conduct throughout their careers.
The official Northeastern University studio culture documents will be provided as they become available.
