Based on the necessity of rethinking the traditional and stereotyped approaches, methods and
tools in architecture and design education; the basic design education, in which the student
transforms from a passive listener role to an active learner role; contrary to the widespread studies
in this field, it is aimed to discuss the potential of being evaluated by focusing on the student, not
the instructor. Basic design education, as a multi-layered and directional learning area where
many methods and tools are applied, including traditional, thematic and experimental, includes
many phenomena and their relations. This study aims to examine the phenomena of the studio in
this context, while discussing that phenomenology can be a research method in the examination
and evaluation of the basic design studio. Studio phenomena that have the potential to become
the object of study in phenomenology; are the studio components including the actor, the action,
the tool and/or the method, and the studio output. Studio components are determined by
considering the perception, point of view, thought, emotion, and how the phenomenon is
described, experienced and interpreted, as suggested by phenomenology. This essay explores the
potentials of phenomenology in design education and serves as a reference for future works.
