Abstract

Design studio is considered as one of the most essential courses in interior design education. It is the place where students gain knowledge, develop critical thinking skills and enhance creativity. The aim of this paper is to highlight how collaborative design approaches can improve interior design studio courses using an interdisciplinary process. A historical background on design education is presented along with multi-strategies (Interdisciplinary Cooperation, Design Studio Environment, Communication Methods and Introducing Professionals and Stakeholders into Design Studio courses) for creating effective collaborative environments. These strategies habitually affects their decision-making in professional practice. The purpose of this paper is multi-faceted; (1) the importance of having a collaborative environment in design studios. (2) How introducing cooperative environments at undergraduate level helps prospective interior designers become successful professionals.
