    Abstract
    Architectural design is subjective. The generic structure and content of studio-based learning are so rigid and could be boring for a creative and original learner. The research aims to offer clarity for a design studio pedagogy on various subjectivities on design thinking. First, the research explores theoretical discourses formulating a thematic summary of contemporary publications pertinent to design studio teaching and its determinants. Next was a procedure for data collection to venture an understanding of the subjectivity of designers. Case Study was the methodology, and in-studio observations and interviews were the methods employed. The final year studios of University Malaya and Taylor's have been the case studies. The findings suggested nine design thinking typologies that will be grouped, pertinent to the domain of the constructs, such as a) Positivistic or Hard typologies: b) Critical or Soft typologies: and c) Interpretative or the hard/soft typologies. The research concludes by stressing the importance of learner-led teaching pedagogy for studio-based teaching in architecture through formulating a diversified set of design thinking typologies.
