Abstract

The teaching experience of History of Architecture 2 at the University of Malaga focuses on the development of analytical, formal and compositional aspects. The teaching structure is based on the form-composition and imitation-abstraction binomials, leading to the use of the concept of architectural type, which allows us to understand the specificities of each solution carried out and its evolution, as well as the ultimate meanings of the experiments carried out during the historical period analyzed. In this way the student receives an explanation about the reason for the meaning and evolution of the main compositional typologies, as well as about various aspects related to the architectural form, and the anomalies and contrasts present in the selected works. From the experience of this teaching innovation, a broader reflection on architectural composition, the importance of the ability to look, and the necessary intersection between theory and practice is reached.
