In the early time of its appearance, the design education in Indonesia had a very technical
sense. Then, it began to adopt the artistic sense after about 20 years later. The method of studio
learning in Indonesia is adopted from the development of the Bauhaus and Beaux-arts? apprentice
system. This apprentice system was once influenced by the design in the technical/engineering
context.
In Petra Christian University?s Visual Communication Design Department, this studio
learning method is not only applied to its core subject but also to its skill subject. Physically, the
connotation of studio is a room for drawing. But in term of designing, actually studio is more than
just a room for it. Studio is a place for learning, enriching the idea by chatting, feeling, touching,
and doing. It?s also a potential place for integrating skills, values and design literacy.
Studio can be an ideal place to make the traditional become more global. Right from this
place, the strength of the local culture will spark its bright sunshine to the whole world.
