AB STRACT

This study investigates the impact of workstation design on the learning experience of students in graphics design and communication studios. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, surveys administered to students and faculty, and analysis of existing studio spaces, the research identifies key considerations for creating effective learning environments. The findings highlight the importance of layout optimization, furniture selection, technology integration, lighting design, and overall aesthetics. Based on these insights, the project presents a set of recommendations to guide the redesigning of workstation spaces that foster creativity, collaboration, and effective learning for design students. By implementing these recommendations, educators and designers can cultivate studio environments that empower students to thrive and prepare for successful careers in the field of design.
