Teaching Architecture: The New Challenges

Abstract

The teaching of Architecture presents new challenges. The constantly changing world leaves, in the same classroom,
generations with different skills in terms of mastering the digital tools and technologies. Teachers from the “analog
era” teach students from the “digital era”. The need to cross these two worlds – in the teaching and in the practice of
the profession - generates structuring questions for the planning of the courses (from degree to doctorate) that need
to respond to how we can reconcile different interests without forget the need to explore manual skills and the need
to implement a “real thinking” about concepts like: place, space, function, etc. – which we cannot allow that could be
replaced by “artificial thinkings”.
