The architectural teaching process is a wicked problem: the answer, an algorithm

Abstract

The study of the discipline from the architecture itself runs the risk of self-theorization, of polarization affected by different discourses, interested approaches of the schools themselves, the relationship between teachers and with students. The definition of a system that represents the complexity of training and is able to integrate the professional point of view allows to analyze and contribute directly to the body of the discipline, distinguishing which is the most relevant knowledge, taking into account the free thought of the students and their professional future. This system graphically shows the path traveled by students from the beginning of their training to professional qualification, showing the shortcomings and motivations throughout their education in architecture. The purpose of this process is to achieve an algorithm that serves as a basis for understanding the overall process of training in each school of architecture.
