Why are the computers to be placed in the NJSOA design studio?
The method of instruction utilized in architectural design dictates that students work in the design studio. Collaboration and cooperation are essential components of an architectural education. Even when working on individual projects, students frequently help one another and discuss architectural ideas as they are being formed and this essential component of education is missed when working in isolation. Also, license requirements for some of the software applications provided to students limits their use to within the School of Architecture facilities.
