Abstract

The objective of the doctoral thesis (Roset, 2006) was to discover the best systems, procedures and contents of what should be the teaching of physics within undergraduate architectural studies. The hypothesis was that by improving the relation between the “mathematical” and “graphical” languages, as they currently belong to physics and architecture, it would be possible to improve the two disciplines. The testing of the hypothesis was developed by considering HOW concepts belonging to physics are explained to future architects and deciding WHICH concepts should be explained. A graphical language was then invented to represent concepts belonging to physics as well as to architecture, and indeed the relation between them. Subsequently a concrete way of making these explanations was proposed, for a specific course as well as for a specific subject area thereof. The fully developed example within the subject area of Thermal Comfort in the course “Physics: from the environment to architecture”, was tested on some 29 students participating in the course, enabled the hypothesis and the reaching of a number of conclusions initially unforeseen.
