| Beschreibung: | There is consensus that theory is a key ingredient for the practice and thinking of architecture nowadays. However, theory seems stranded at the margins of the architectural curriculum, somehow disconnected from everyday life. This is even more so at undergraduate level. In most cases, architectural theory courses are elective, taught separately from studio practice, hands-on workshops and architectural design. Given this situation, it is necessary to build more experimental pedagogical approaches when teaching architectural theory. This theoretical content should be transversally integrated in the curriculum throughout, expanding the pragmatist scope of the learning by doing school (John Dewey) and implementing a new pedagogical approach based on what we call theorizing (architecture) by doing (artistic spatial practices). This article discusses the implementation of this pedagogy in one undergraduate course taught at Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM), in Mexico. The findings include a critical approach to ‘anthropophagy’ as an alternative methodology for teaching Modern Latin American Architecture, and a commentary on how architectural theory could be taught in the future. |
