Narrative inquiry as a form of research of the design studio

The following text is part of the results of a dissertation in Education about teaching and learning in the design studio. It is taken as a dynamic structure that links tradition, normative and institutional provisions, the design process, and the study of some educational models, but, above all, it focuses on the relationship between its main actors: students and teachers. Narrative inquiry is taken as the methodological path to acquire these experiences through conversations that focused on relational issues, ways of teaching and learning, the architectonic space as a learning scenario, institutional conditions, and satellite experiences. The findings allow us to establish a current and future overview of the successes and issues to be improved in the learning experience and the design studio become meaningful.
