Abstract:
Architectural Design Studio is core course of the Bachelor in Architectural Program, Faculty of Architecture, Khon Kaen University. As a major part of the course, There is laboratory or studies for practical design training. Objectives of course are enhancing knowledge, teamwork and the inquiry skills of students for the time after they have graduated from university. The research applies :The issue- Inquiry Based Learning Theory" and "Design problem" program to class experiment. The research solution will serve as a architectural program and course syllabus for "Issue Inquiry Based Learning". The research is conducted in the 4th Year student design studio and aims to constructuring process of inquiry that follows the architectural design studio's objective. Furthermore, The research prepares students for their final project, "Thesis Design" in their 5th Year. The experiment showed the design process can manipulated "Issue and inquiry" for an initial topic and programming. Moreover, The design process can manipulate "Issue and inquiry" to investigate a solution for all design processes. The design solution of the experiment is "Conceptual idea of New architectural typology". This research in the line with the National Education Code (1998) that focuses on students as center of study. By expanding the application, research solutions may provoke and inspire ideas for instructors concerned with architectural education. The research solution can serve as a role model for other fields of environmental design studies such as Urban design, Environmental technology design and Building construction technology design
