Abstract
Skill in conception and transforming a concept to design is vital for any architect being churned out through the formal education system existing in post-independent India. Basic Design Studio aims to provide the learners with a sound background in design principles and skills by treating design as a basic creative activity leading to higher levels of learning and design. It focuses on improving creativity through practicing established methods, procedure and exercises in creativity, while drawing inspiration from other creative arts, literature, and folk architecture. Further, it facilitates and establishes analogies in other parallel movements in art, literature, cognitive sciences, social sciences, educational psychology, philosophy and architecture all over the globe. This qualitative study addresses the design studio learning experiences of faculty and students alike. It also describes the revelation that design students gain out of their personal learning experiences that illuminate and brighten the outcome of these learning exercises.
