After almost 4 years since we first published the 1st episode called "Design Process in Architecture Studio Curriculum" which is the most listened-to episode in the Talk Architecture podcast, a reflection on the topic in terms of 'design methodology' and the studio curriculum is deliberated in this episode.

A methodology is a system of methods and principles for doing something (Collins, 2023).

The fact that different schools of architecture practice different methodologies as we have observed, shows that there is not one philosophy in architecture. Is that a good or bad thing for the profession? This is not a recent phenomenon as I recall in the 1980s we talked of the more theoretical school and the more practical school. The diagram in the thumbnail was a way to describe the attempt to have a balanced approach to the architecture curriculum, especially in the final year or design thesis year.
