Abstract

Studio is a core subject in Department of Architecture. The importance of the subjects based on studio in Department of Architecture is to make students feel and practice designing based on bench marking of the tasks that given to them intensely.

            The products of their designs that have been done in certain period (usually one semester) haven’t yet been optimizing. The basic failures in designing process usually happens and it causes the aim of the studio that can give them experiences in designing is not optimize.

            The implementation of Studio has difficulties. The length of the implementation needs high concentration of the students, good stamina of the team teaching and students, qualified equipments and also the ineffective culture of studio that has been implemented. Some of the ineffective culture in Studio that has been a myth, based on The American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) in 2002 that has been stated in their working paper, The American Institute of Architecture Students Task Force Report (2002) named The Redesign of Studio Culture, is not suitable to be implemented anymore.

             The products of their designs which are not optimize, finally will point the bargaining of the graduation after they come to the real working market as an Architect Graduation Student. This situation is also come to the free trade market era of workers.

            Team of Competitive Grant Program (PHK) A2 in Department Architecture of Pancasila University, has done a research about the culture in Studio, especially in Designing Studio and Final Task. The research is about how the statement in the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) about the Myth of Culture in Studio happens. The result of the research can be proven significantly based on the low quality of the students who registered in that department influenced their capacity in the designing process in studio. This result will be an input to make a better teaching and learning methods in studio. The capacity of the students will be main factor that support the success of the implementation of studio. The renovation of this method will be the important program of Grant Competition Program (PHK) A2 in Department Architecture of Pancasila University during 2007 – 2009.
