Studio Culture

Architecture at KMCT is taught in open studios where ideas are developed through sketches, models, pin-ups, and critiques. Students work alongside peers and faculty in a collaborative atmosphere that mirrors professional design offices.

Regular jury presentations, workshops, and hands-on sessions in the model-making workshop strengthen spatial thinking and technical execution. Digital tools complement traditional drafting skills throughout the programme.
