Abstract

In architectural education, when examining the curricula of architectural design studios, one can observe the learning outcomes that learners are expected to achieve. The learning outcomes intended to be achieved in architectural design studios may vary in their transfer to practice, depending on the teacher. This variability in transfer can lead to learners not fully acquiring the desired ‘awareness, understanding, and skills’. With the increasing number of architecture schools today, these problems are becoming more prominent. To address these issues, a supportive teaching model, utilizing the “SCAMPER” applications, is proposed. This approach aims to enhance learners understanding and ability to generate diverse solutions to contemporary problems by actively utilizing and experiencing the learning outcomes acquired through traditional teaching models. The study focuses on the sustainability of learning outcomes in architectural design studios and the potential of the “SCAMPER” applications to improve the design process.
