Educating and integrating knowledge in Architecture studies

Abstract

The paper argues how it is possible to achieve a larger impact of education by means of a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach. The objective is to describe the experience of a staff of professor that has been working with architecture sophomores in integrating contents and educative tasks. By means of a research-and-acting methodology the authors engage in a process of harmonizing tasks included in the Education Strategy, teacher development project and curricular contents. The author’s thesis was that integrating tasks would develop students’ comprehensive thinking. The proposal favors the accomplishment of the objective of education, particularly in achieving an all-around education and relating professional contents to morale by means of developing students’ sensitiveness and awareness as a component of teaching and  learning approach
