framework for the implementation of a virtual design studio model in ...

their own abilities with the help of computers). The title also captured
this and was very important in opening the student‟ horizons and
highlight the problems of the citizen‟s of sharjah. The education system
in the middle east is fairly new (less than 3 decades) so there is a need
for new ways of thinking and new skills and critical thinking. Critique is
very important because in this part of the world to critique something is
looked at as not being very polite but it is very important aspect and it
stimulates creativity. Creativity is crossing the boundaries, it might not
be real but this is needed in the middle east as people are not creative,
looking at their villas design can reflect their traditional thinking and the
lack of creativity as these villas built with new and modern materials but
yet conserve the old fashion styles like arches because people can‟t get
out of the box and be creative and brave in their creativity.
In terms of time constraint as the student and the staff had their own
pressing commitments, how do you see ways of improvements in the
future?
I don‟t look at it as improvement the way you hit it and the way you
tackled the issue is not a usual way of teaching many new ideas were
involved it is all new for the formal school. Your purpose is not
structured if you try to structure it you will lose the sense of it...in this
short time you fly the student and make them land
again.........interrupted by but did you have a look at the curriculum that
we prepared for this workshop? Will you call that structuring?
Yes I understand what you mean, you need a connecting thread for the
student you need to provide you inputs and directions the films we saw
is 20% of what was filmed how could you capture in 3 mins what you did
in a week that was the talent and to say your message in these 3 mins.
Q3. The main purpose of this research is to provide a model for design
studio in the middle east so we are talking about a curriculum that we
can put together do you think that was met?
In 2 ways include it as a way of thinking, state of the mind and teach it to
the faculty member, it is a unique thing and it has your characteristics so
do make it as a model you have to make instructors leant the engine
may be you can make a kit to apply it in schools to stimulate creativity
and teach it to the faculty members to learn the engines. Suggested a
kit to apply in schools, elements to catelogise creativity engine in
different specialities and disciplines. Doing this you will target wider
population not only architecture.
