Fostering Innovative Vision: Empowering Architectural and Urban Design Students through Practical Projects within University Campuses
Urbanization has created numerous challenges in cities, outpacing traditional problem-solving methods. This makes the integration of innovative design by architects and urban planners crucial for developing smart cities. To prepare students for this task, universities must foster environments that encourage practical application, especially in creative majors like architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design. Hands-on experiences are essential for developing students’ skills and innovative thinking.
Undergraduate programs need to adopt creative teaching methods to meet job market demands and enhance learning. Academic programs must nurture inventive concepts in students who will contribute to future smart cities. This requires integrating real-world scenarios into the curriculum and providing opportunities to address urban challenges in various contexts. This study outlines a process for developing assignment requirements and integrating practical exercises into courses, allowing students to practice their skills immediately. Regular classes are complemented with workshops to equip students with necessary skills for completing assignments. Weekly tasks are designed to mimic real project workflows, focusing on developing design initiatives tailored to specific university areas.
Considering the university as a miniature city, where students and staff are its residents, treating parts of the campus as design projects helps students practice design thinking and encourages innovative ideas to improve their quality of life. Contributing design ideas to the campus motivates students to excel in their studies. Empirical evidence highlights the importance of such applied teaching scenarios in fostering creativity and innovation among students.
