The following proposal is part of the research project: “First Year Architectural Education”, lead by the research group in Architecture, City and Education-ACE, of the Architecture program at Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá-Colombia. The project emerges from the commitment to education in architecture and in particular with the training in the initial stage: the first year. The project intends to review curricula at various schools, extract their contents (architectural design, history, construction and urbanism related) and their methodologies of knowledge transfer, in order to propose a teaching model that suggests strategies applicable in various curricula, as well as to contribute knowledge on architectural education. This paper focuses on the proposals of four cross-subjects or common problems in different knowledge areas in which architecture teaching use to be divided, especially in its first year.
