A number of key issues concerning the transformation of our living environments and architectural education in the globalized society are explored in this chapter, in an attempt to map and address the apparent gap between the traditional housing studio and the complex, dynamic world. The topics discussed include multidisciplinary approaches in studio pedagogy, going beyond disciplinary and academic boundaries, and canceling out the tensions between global dynamics, cultural diversity, and local realities. The argument for a public-spirited, evidence-based education is advanced this implies a pedagogical approach that makes research, student learning, and external engagement relate to societal needs and aspirations. The housing design studio is a fertile ground where this can happen, since it marks the passage from the description, understanding, and explanation of cities and our living environments to the act of producing new urban forms in the educational environment.
