studios

Studios are spaces created for deep engagement in practice, experimenting, intuitive making, through art practices and design inquiry. We expose learners to the complex nature of design embedded in the humanities, and vice versa, through material and non-material explorations.​ These learning experiences are underpinned by the centre's eco-pedagogical approach. The studio is a place for an enriched and critical understanding, engagement and creativity, through synthesis, drawing from the field. Learners explore, investigate, construct, articulate, image and imagine that which will challenge the boundaries of disciplines, structures and hierarchies within their practices.

TESTIMONIALS

Ananya Krishnan (Braiding - A Watery Entanglement, 2026)

"This thesis project was very well facilitated, and pushed me to explore new ways of thinking. It changed my perspective on what design research can be, and was truly immersive throughout. The structure of the project was such that it guided me through different uncertainties and experiences of exploring a new landscape, while still allowing me to pursue and demonstrate my personal design practice and skills."
