This renovation design-build project presents an opportunity to re-evaluate how current studio spaces in a design school are structured, and offer potential solutions that could be implemented in future studios for creative work and instruction. The project consists of large communal tables, multiple types of seating, storage and display solutions, a model making table, as well as an open flexible space that is used for reviews, meetings, among other activities. Fourth year Interior Design students at the American University of Sharjah meticulously designed and built this project over 2 years.
