Abstract

There is no better synthesis for an educational experience than that provided by the irrefutable Latin of  classical maxims. I resort to a roman proverb and a medieval aphorism, in addition to quotes by Petronius, Quintilian and Seneca in order to present five shorthand commentaries on the teaching of architectural design; I refer to the Cordoban also in the introduction and the closure. The writings come from Aurea dicta, an excellent selection by Eduard Valentí.
