Abstract

New digital design and manufacturing technologies have had little impact on the production of a less repetitive architecture that exploits the new frontiers of architectural languages provided by these resources. Architecture education plays a significant role in reproducing this problem. Here we report an innovative and unique teaching strategy that has been implemented, evaluated and improved for over a decade. The emphasis of this strategy is the inclusion of architectural language requirements in the design brief presented in a certain design studio. An objective and comparative rereading of two groups of design projects obtained in activities developed in the classroom. After several years of teaching on these premises, the results are promising.
