• Resumen

  • This article deals with the significance of drawing as an essential field of knowledge for the adequate development of the architectural design process. Drawing, closely linked to the body and mind, contributes like no other discipline to the creative, development and construction process of the architectural fact. Therefore, its complete and transversal integration in the teaching of courses linked to the creation and manipulation of space must be considered. An innovative teaching approach is presented here, recently developed at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona (ETSAB/UPC), which has altered the usual scheme of teaching projects by putting drawing -along with other technical subjects- at the center of its interest as a driver of development and creation of new knowledge for the best achievement of teaching and pedagogical objectives. The excellent results of the initiative, as well as the high level of the works carried out, support its development.
