Abstract

This paper presents the main principles of the Database Driven Lab, a pedagogical model that assimilates the inherent logic of digital media in order to approach contemporary urban reality. It is a model that confronts the heterogeneous nature of the real with different conceptual models by leveraging the relational flexibility that characterizes a number of digital formats. Among those, the website –the format that most clearly reflects such logic– is designated as the main driver of a learning process that stresses the simultaneously individual and collective nature of contemporary research practices. A recent experience that took La Manga del Mar Menor as its subject of study will reveal the main potentials and constraints of the model.
