Resumen
The tobacco drying rooms have been part of the “cultural landscape” of the Vega de Granada for much of the 20th century. This striking architecture reveals the sense of vitality of a territory, transcending immediacy, to become part of the historical story of a community.During the 2022–23 academic year, in the “AFA 1” subject taught at the ETSAG, a graphic research study is carried out on the innate aesthetic and functional qualities of constructions that, representing the essence of industrial architecture, have transformed the geographical environment in which they have been implemented thanks to the gestalt power conferred by its formal forceful-ness and the proliferation fostered by its condition as a prototype, which makes it susceptible to unlimited repetition and serialization.From the double aspect provided by analytical procedures and the semantic, evocative and landscape connotations, the selected teaching proposal is ideal for the learning of a second-year student, as it allows a clear exercise that com-bines graphic skills, initiation to research, constructive understanding, architectural analysis and occupation of the territory.The organized systematization of the teaching procedures applied together with the stimulation of a splendid and close environment are the definitive components of this fruitful course.
