Following this awareness of users’ lost role after modern movement, some alternative proposals for architectural studio developed in recent decades to embrace real user have been systematically reviewed in order to prepare a basis for planning a more effective approach in training architectural students. In this research, these are put in four categories: Idealistic Approach, Professional Approach, Participatory Approach and Specialist Research Approach. Then, a graduation studio program is introduced that has been designed under the forth mentioned type of new approaches. This studio method has been proposed to approach subjectivity of user and designer based on practical research about the ideal environment. This method was executed in the rural environment of Ilam and its results are presented here. In this method visual subjectivity expectations (identity) have been studied, but also all the people life details have been investigated in a regular structure. To have a systematic process for the project, a tri-fold model (developed by the authors) has been used to explore factors of subjectivity. It includes three axis (experience time, personal experience, experiencing) for exploring identity factors. In this research, 32 details have been investigated in three different conditions: First, physical absolute factors; second, the factors formed between the body and the social-behavioral facts; third, social-behavioral absolute factors. For each of the conditions, examples of projects done by graduate students of architecture have been shown. Finally, some housing designs by student based on identity factors have been presented.
