Abstract

The present text exploress analogous work exercises conducted in the Architecture Workshop I-II at the University of San Sebastián, Concepción, between 2021 and 2023. Manual techniques of model making, drawing, and painting are used to bring students closer to the physical reality of the architectural creative process. Despite the rapid transition to digital tools in the curriculum, the workshop emphasizes the importance of manual work to develop cognitive, procedural, and attitudinal skills. The exercises, ranging from drawing to the final semester assemblies, promote reflection and a balanced interpretation between analog and digital techniques. The course aims to instill in the group of students an awareness of the value of patience, reflection, and resilience in the face of error.
