This paper discusses the potential of an open-source practice in design teaching, following the experience of the Creative Commons studio in Rice University School of Architecture. Based upon the postproduction of drawings and the sharing of material by the sudents, the structure of the studio generates a collective conversation through disciplinary instruments that results in the development of an architecture free of preconceptions. This means, an architecture that avoids the reductive influence of a media environment characterized by the omnipresence of pictures, as defined by Jean Baudrillard.
