Abstract

As we have seen in experiences developed in the field of teaching in the architectural projects initiation, learn playing generates and stimulates the ability to invent and innovate providing pleasure and an ethical guidance of the processes. Learning is based on actions that provoke reflection on architecture, about the world and about ourselves. They are, in fact, transversal learning. Our purpose is the innovation of the teaching methods at the university by integrating learning in specific competences, stimulation of creativity, art education, communication skills and learning in citizenship. In this article we confront the guiding principles of this pedagogy with the experiences we have developed in workshops.
