How does the university architecture communicate to you?

摘要

'In comparison to global examples, I would like to have felt more of a certain permanency (the kind that perhaps architecture studio environments create) but across other disciplines. Studying engineering at Monash Clayton has allowed me to see the difference. A lot of students don't come to lectures or spend much time on campus and in the common areas. For those students in which travel is difficu how can we implement a sense of belonging and 'permanency' that architecture studios create for them? I think that online learning tools have many benefits but how can we mitigate the risks of social isolation they may create? Can we plan and design for all of our users and all students? I think the experience could be improved by further considering the user experience of a student after hours. Also more bikes/scooters!' Leanne Haidar, Student Bachelors of Architectural Design and Engineering (Civil), Monash University 'Situating myself in my studies physically makes a big difference to how I do so mentally. A big portion of my course focuses on art history and theory, and I find that being on campus helps me dilute the things I'm learning into the world around me, and make sense of how different individuals have done so, similarly, before me. Face-to-face conversation and discussion also plays an especially important part in stretching my perspective, which would be lost -or at least eroded - if it was all online!' Harriet Jones, Student Bachelor of Art History & Curating, Monash University 'I chose to do my MBA on campus rather than online. I find that being on campus and in class better enables me to: engage with my class content, interact with my classmates, build rapport with my teachers and also helps me to focus my attention on studying. When I arrive at school it puts me in the frame of mind to study. Overall the campus facilities are really nice and enjoy being there. The quality and facilities of the small rooms to do group work are really important. My school has just built a bar and cafe. It's a really nice space and I enjoy being there.'
