Abstract

This study aims to analyze workshops generating an informal learning media supplementary to the curriculum on architectural design education. In the framework of realization that following a particular curriculum but mostly taking out the formal rules in architectural design education and that the education continues everywhere, raises workshops as an alternative learning environment. As an educational experience workshops include sharing information and knowledge of different professionals/experts workshops accompanied by a program or a theme. The importance of workshops increases day by day especially for international education institutions, for architectural production companies and for professional chambers. Besides the participants gain experience, workshops make it possible to share knowledge of experts. Thus workshops emerge as a shining star especially in the 20th and 21st century and as a new phenomenon in architectural education. These informal studios, except from the curriculum in architectural design education should be considered as a work environment that aims to complete the missing aspects of the formal studio courses in the school and to give participants the opportunity to work with other disciplines. Additionally workshops gain students self- confidence and teach them looking from different point of views. Precisely for this reason, workshops that bring different architectural environments (with national/international intercollegiate cooperation) and various disciplines together should be seen as an important and essential extension of the design education. Ensuring the intercollegiate information interaction, organizing individual and group study and enabling to develop architectural solutions to a contemporary urban problem in a very limited time interval, workshops give the opportunity to create different point of views about a specific topic in intellectual freedom. The importance of the workshops that are differentiating from the formal design studios are quite remarkable due to their creativity encouraging structure both in completely intellectual or practical level. This study is written to mention the reasons for the emergence of workshops, their pedagogical structure and the variations on the most selected topics. Within the scope of this study the differences between workshops and formal design studios, the reasons of the increasing number of this informal studios, the expected benefits of workshops and the possible threads has been discussed.
