Taking a cue from a comment made by a colleague during a planning session for the coming academic year, this proposal is therefore centred around what this remark means in relation to the studio. Specifically, how lockdown drew attention to its continued importance as a multifaceted learning and teaching site (Vyas & Nijholt, 2012). However, recent research relating to the impact COVID‐19 had on studio teaching indicates that increased (online) attendance occurred during lockdown (Grover & Wright, 2020). Therefore, an opportunity presents itself to explore the digital realm further, and to see if a virtual studio could function in the same way as the traditional studio. Given the uncertainty of our current situation, this is an interesting prompt. As such, it is my intention to work collaboratively on the development of an augmented reality platform; one that supports the idea of the studio as a Zone of Proximal Development (Fraser, 2016; Corazzo, 2019). The rationale for this proposal is, therefore, to help push the boundaries of what’s possible in relation to pedagogy, and to also see if our ideas surrounding making and materiality can be advanced.
