Abstract :
The spatial ergonomics of a work setting must take into account the interaction between the built environment and human behaviour. Therefore, it is essential that the comfort and practicality of design studios at Indian educational institutions are correctly balanced in order to promote studio culture and enhance student performance. The psychological relationships between ergonomics in the workplace and its potential good or bad effects on the users of the space were covered in this study, depending on how successfully ergonomic and spatial design principles were applied. The ergonomic and interior design elements that can be combined to properly balance comfort and functionality in an architectural design studio are also covered in this study. A survey was done among undergraduate architecture students in The Bells University of Technology to determine the condition and quality of the adopted design studios and to find out how it affected their work performance. The results were compiled, presented in a clear and straight forward form and explained to back up the theory that design studios in the institution are not up to standard. This research also provides recommendations based on the results of from the respondents on how to better improve the quality of design studios in order to improve studio culture.
