Experiências Pedagógicas sobre Território nas Escolas de Arquitetura: de Porto Rico a Belgrado / Pedagogical Experiments on Territory in Architecture Schools: from Puerto Rico to Belgrade


Book Description

Dando continuidade aos dois livros já publicados no âmbito do projeto «On Being With-it»: Experiências Pedagógicas sobre Território nas Escola de Arquitetura e Diálogo Prospetivo sobre a Experiência de Aprendizagem através do Território, ambos publicados em 2017, este terceiro livro apresenta nove textos da autoria de professores e investigadores estrangeiros que visitaram a Escola de Arquitetura da Universidade do Minho (EAUM) ao longo dos últimos anos, ou com os quais os professores da área de Cidade e Território da EAUM têm uma proximidade disciplinar. O objetivo primordial deste livro é o de contribuir para o questionamento e a valorização da prática pedagógica daquilo que podemos denominar como «being with-places». Relembrando que na aprendizagem podem ser convocadas pessoas e lugares cuja distância física, social ou organizacional poderia justificar o distanciamento. Following on from the two previous books published within project “On Being With-it”: Pedagogical Experiments on Territory on Architecture Schools and A Forward-Looking Dialogue on the Experience of Learning through Territory, both published in 2017, this third book presents nine texts by foreign professors and researchers who visited the School of Architecture at the University of Minho (EAUM) over the past few years, or with whom EAUM City and Territory professors share a disciplinary proximity. The main goal of this book is to contribute to the questioning and enhancement of the pedagogical practice of what we can call “being with-places”. Recalling that in learning one can summon people and places whose physical, social or organizational non-proximity could justify a distancing.




Palladio's Children


Book Description

Based on many years of personal observation, Palladio's Children critically examines the role of the architect as a professional descendent of Palladio, and as an heir to his architectural legacy. Seven innovative and carefully crafted essays explore the widening ideological schism between today’s architects whose core values, identity and education remain rooted in the Renaissance legacy of creating artful ‘masterpieces’, and the practical demands on a profession which acts within an evolving, ubiquitous and autonomous built environment or ‘field’. Clearly written yet expressing complex, evolving ideas, this extended argument opens a new forum of debate across design theory, professional practice and academic issues. Moving the subject on from a historical perspective, Habraken shows how architects are increasingly involved in the design of everyday buildings. This must lead to a reassessment of architects’ identities, values and education, and the contribution of the architect in the shaping of the built environment.
