STUDIO SPACE PREFERENCES AND COMFORT FACTORS OF ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITAS PENDIDIKAN INDONESIA

Daffa Mawarsari

Abstract


Studio spaces play an important role in architectural education, being the main place for students to learn, discuss, and develop skills. This research aims to understand architecture students' preferences towards studio spaces at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) and the factors that support their comfort in these spaces. The method used is a qualitative approach with grounded theory. Data were collected through an online questionnaire filled out by 81 architecture students from various batches. The data analysis process involved open coding, axial coding, and selective coding stages to identify the main factors that influence comfort. The results showed that aspects of lighting, ventilation, quietness, comfort, dimensions, and space utilities were the main factors considered by students in choosing studio spaces. Studio 1, for example, is chosen for its spacious dimensions and good accessibility, while Studio 4 is preferred for its view. These findings provide design recommendations for the development of more optimized studio spaces in architectural education environments, particularly in improving student comfort and productivity.
