Abstract
Internalizing values is a critical issue in environmental design education. The hidden curriculum in environmental design education in the design studio can be changed to include real-world problems and to implement the universal design concept. Universal design can promote social consciousness and focus the studio experience on process rather than on product. Using a design studio in assisted living housing for older adults, students were confronted with going beyond problem solving to problem setting. Coaching students to internalize the values of universal design is the mission of educators because universal design is a pivotal, sustained and valid base for the expansion of environmental design knowledge in discourse and application.
