Hi
First I have no experience with studio teaching....so take my comments with a grain of salt :-)
Are there time or places that the all the students make decision that all project grapple with?
These decision points might be an opportunity to bring students together in a tbl activity
In a civil engineering capstone I help designed.....with mange the convergence and divigerence in the process...we converge the students to the next big project decision...following decisions...students go back to their individual project....then we facilitate/mentor one of one allowing projects to progress and diverge
Then again we converge towards next big decision point

I have begun using TBL in my architectural theory course and have used it to create design teams in my studio courses but am curious to figure out how/if the methods can be applied to a course that is process rather than content-oriented. Studio courses have a high number of contact hours (13/week) and the typical interaction method is one-on-one desk critiques in which the instructor meets with the student to discuss his/her project. Projects typically last anywhere from a few weeks to an entire semester and are meant to synthesize learning from a range of courses in addition to the studio. Students sometimes work with a partner or as part of a team but this is still the exception.
