چکیده مقاله :
The aim of this paper is to explore conventional methods of teaching the arch-design studio withideas of sustainability and creativity as agents of change. If this is realised, it means the students of architecture canbe grounded in designing with sustainability and creativity ideas and can be professionals that design and build withideas of creativity and sustainability. So, there are real buildings and places that satisfy our clients, the society and inharmony with the environment. The objectives are to know those and what it takes to participate and to explain andrecommend the methods in teaching the arch-design studio. Stakeholders of architectural education have observedthat the architectural design studio teaching is failing to meet the yearnings and needs of the users, societies, cultures,environments and technological developments and for solution have strongly argued for sustainability and creativityas a combined force of teaching the arch-design studio. Although there are similarities in the curricula of trainingarchitects all over the world, but educators go about it in their own convenient and suitable ways and styles and theideas of sustainability and creativity are not taken seriously and also not formally incorporated in the curricula oftraining. These stakeholders say that something has to be done to improve the ways and methods of training architects,especially the teaching of the arch-design studio. The study finds collaboration of the academics and practicingarchitects, integrated team work of inter/multi-disciplinary and selection criteria in teaching the methods of ideasrelating to sustainability and creativity in the arch-design studio.
