Abstract: “Architecture education, have not changed over years, and this would be its greatest fear. Current teaching pedagogies in architecture education have been criticized by academia, industry and public as the graduates are unable to meet the society and industry demands. Architecture instructors often pay more attention to physical models and drawing produced by students rather than the students experience of real life engagements with external communities.Moreover, the students hardly experience the real life projects thus their learning experiences are limited. Various literatures have reported on students enhanced learning experiences in academic service-learning projects with real community partnerships. However, there are fewer published studies on architecture students learning experience using servicelearning.Therefore, this study addresses the gap in the literatures as it examines the architecture students learning experience using the service-learning pedagogy in forming community”
