Workshop

The 8th of January 2013 some teachers from Madrid travelled to Decmocritus University of Thrace, in the Greek city of Xanthi. There were presented the rules for the development of the course in 3 different days. As well, it was explained the kind of documents to work with: protococuments, diagrams, models. At the same time, a debate was produced about the architectural production in educational contexts, and about the difficulties, habits and cliches the student might face in the course.

The students received the information on the course before its beginning, thus, the topic dealt in the workshop was a kind of preview, focusing problems or difficulties to be faced through unknown documents and unfamiliar colleagues.

The 11th of March 2013, a group of teachers from Madrid travelled to Universidad Federal de Minas Gerais in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. During a 3 day course they presented the rules, also they explained the important documents to work with: the protococuments, diagrams and models

The Brazilian students were the seconds to be incorporated to the course, the Spanish ones already started two weeks before. It was prepared a “logbook” (http://issuu.com/uddfedericosoriano/docs/libro_workshop) in order to produce a direct result to be applied on the course exercise. The book contained a set of architectural floors that were carefully chosen as references, then, the students had to produce a collage –a protofloor- with those documents. The information produced during the workshop was truly important, since it was the basis for the Greek and Spanish students, who continued the project after that.
