Abstract

Analyze the architectural project recognizes the difficulty of establishing stable and systematic knowledge in relation to it, but also assumes that the architectural project is based on past cultural and projectual baggage; architectural conception as an instantaneous burst of creation is not possible. The accurate and rigorous practice of the architectural project requires an inherent process of analysis of previews works. In this sense, it is essential to pay attention to the analysis methodologies to reveal and understand the action of architecture as a cultural product of its time, and the architect, as an actor attached to the values ​​of his profession. This paper collects results from experiences of applying criteria and methodologies of analysis and interpretation on certain works and their authors, led by architecture students in their final years of training.
