Consequências não-digitais do meio digital para o ensino de projeto

Abstract

The present text assumes as opportune the possibility of discussing the current resistance to design studio teaching through digital media – imposed by the pandemic of COVID-19 – as a key to reveal aspects that are intrinsic to design teaching practices. Such aspects are still poorly addressed, compromising the quality of the education of architects and urbanists in Brazil. We analyze face-to face design studio pedagogical practices in the light of authors and concepts from the research field of design methods, considering some selected examples of pedagogical experiences carried out remotely. The analysis highlights the main reasons that hinder this transition to the digital environment and discusses some possible clues to overcome them. The text also discusses the consequences of such a transition for a transformation and diversification of design studio teaching frameworks in Architecture and Urbanism.
