Abstract

Yuval Noah Harari proposes Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration and Creativity as key issues for teaching in the 21st century. The Professional Master of ETSABarcelona, during the 4 years between 2015 and 2019, has had these four issues as the backbone of the methodology implemented. The principle has been that not only does it have to prepare future architects for their approval as independent professionals, but it has to check the degree of maturity, the ability of these students to function in complex contemporary situations: the periphery of the city of Barcelona, border situations, new users, reprogramming of obsolete industrial spaces, hybrid programs, etc.
