Another student agendas

Abstract

Nowadays, architecture has extended its area of influence to an interdisciplinary context, that is much broader than the purely building one. Therefore, it is important to question the professional framework that is transmitted to the student from the teaching perspective, proposing a pedagogical alternative that encourages students to rethink the essence of his/her identity in the field professional context. Results extracted from the application of a teaching methodology based on a professional agenda research, in a postgraduate seminar at a Spanish School of Architecture, state that the architect role most shared by students requires a much more interdisciplinary and, at the same time, limited framework of action. Raising, as a conclusion of the communication, the need to introduce a renewed teaching approach to the profession, taking into consideration the present demand of students for a more detailed professional orientation.
