For the last seven years, the course Alternative Practices: The City, and the Design Laboratory (d-Lab) at the IE School of Architecture and Design have served as vehicles to test a shifting of academic production from its more conventional role as a tool for learning within the protected environment of the classroom towards a field engagement experience, understanding reality and the coexistence with other agents as a strategic component of the design and production processes. This paper aims to explore several observations and results elaborated during these years, testing pedagogical approaches and community outreach in a specific urban environment.
