The intent of architecture studios at Kent State is to promote critical thinking for both students and faculty. Studios are intended to be 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 the faculty, student body, administration and staff. The college encourages the students and faculty to appreciate these values along with an understanding of time management as guiding principles of professional conduct.
The studio is a classroom environment which fosters both independent and collaborative inquiry and productivity. Peer and faculty review, criticism, dialogue and discussions are all stimulus for learning by both students and faculty. All learning, classroom based research, and life experiences are important resources for innovative design. Therefore, students and faculty are encouraged to examine and integrate all their experiences in the process of design. The studios are a forum for student exploration of the potentials of architecture toward bettering the quality of life for users. Although studio expectations are high, it should be understood a balanced life and balanced university education are critical for enhanced professional growth.
The studio is not principally a place of competition. Collegial learning, collaboration and consultation must balance individual development.
The studio should be a challenging learning environment of student –faculty and student-to-student encounters where new knowledge and thinking are applied and transformed.
