Abstract: The curricula of industrial arts courses in the Asian Region are changing to a more general approach to arouse interest in, and simple understanding of, industry and industrial processes. Spaces for industrial arts should be less tightly tailored to the needs of specific subject fields than was the case in the past. In secondary general schools, the trend should be toward general purpose spaces for all industrial arts teaching and learning. Some multipurpose workshops are illustrated and described including work-flow patterns and space requirements. (Author/MLF)
