Abstract
The article is inscribed within the debate on: how to initiate the learning of architecture, specifically, what kind of exercises to use at the beginning of the first architecture design studio? As a starting point, three approaches are distinguished in this debate. On the one hand, teachers who use projects from the beginning. Here, the tendency is to reproduce or simulate the architect's professional practice through exercises that include all the variables that characterize an architectural work: the program, the function, the structure, the technique and the relationships between these components. On the other hand, teachers who consider that, before starting the practice of the architectural design, students must understand and manage a series of basic principles of design and visual composition common to several artistic and project disciplines. In this case, architectural design learning begins with two-dimensional and three-dimensional composition exercises characteristic of Basic Design courses. The article studies a third possibility already explored in a fragmentary way in certain teaching practices in recent years and which has not been thoroughly investigated so far. These are exercises that distance themselves from the architect's traditional activity without deriving exclusively in visual composition tasks.
