| Abstract | ||
| Life in the architectural design studio is about the acquisition of experience during the cooperative architectural practice Scholars have observed that cooperation between students is the most effective tool in architectural learning. In this scope, the study aims to compare the cooperative spirit of teamwork practice with the solo practice in a biomimetic project-based workshop to measure the influence of cooperation on students` productivity and anxiety state, considering gender, locality, and the state of siblings as influencing factors. The methodology intends to employ a qualitative comparative analysis to indicate the transformation of students` productivity in a biomimetic design workshop after switching from a solo practice to a cooperative peer learning application as well as an embracement for the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) test during both practices during two workshops for architectural students from different academic levels emphasizing biomimetic design principles and Nature thinking. The results outlined the positive impact of cooperative biomimetic practice on students` accomplishments and anxiety state. | ||
