Environmental Design Studio 2 is designated DSFN 202.
| Studios form the core of the curriculum in each of the four environmental design programs at Kansas State University: architecture, interior architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture. Studios provide opportunities to apply knowledge to design projects from other courses and from work and other prior experience. Studios include some of the characteristics of lecture, seminar, laboratory, and related teaching environments, but are their own form of teaching/learning. Among other reasons, studios can provide very powerful learning experiences because of the interaction that goes on with peers, critics, faculty, and often design users, all within the studio's physical environment. |
| First-year design studio engages students in learning the language of design and in solving design problems with relatively few variables. The problems tend to become more complex in in the second semester and even more so in upper level studios. As students progress through the semester and the studio sequence, they are expected to exhibit increased initiative, independence and competence in designing and presenting projects. |
