The paper intends to describe the practical part of the teaching experience in History and Theory of Architecture courses, where students use software packages and mobile devices apps in order to give a response to architectural concepts through digital capricci o collage. They are requested to produce their own collages creating a digital composition of simulated spaces that can be obtained by combining fragments of renowned buildings or composing together more abstract forms, with the aim of express a concept behind an architect, a style or a movement. The experiment follows the theory by Walter Benjamin of the “art in the age of mechanical reproduction” bringing architecture to the same concept of being a simulacrum of the original source.
