Reading Design Process: A Diagrammatic Approach to Teaching Architectural History

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Gabriela Izar

Contemporaneous debates on architectural form has been linked to sustainability, parameterization and bioarchitecture. In this scenario, what would be the role of history? How the study of history would contribute to understanding the design process in its broad implications? Could the study of precedent open up new educational perspectives? This paper discusses the role of diagrammatic analysis in teaching architecture history, and presents a didactic experience for architectural history students in the fifth semester of an architecture course at a private university in Brasília (Brazil).
