Abstract

This paper describes a teaching improvement experience in third and fourth year design studio within a combined engineering and architectural design MEng degree at the Bartlett School of Architecture, London. The proposal was developed over the first four weeks of the academic year as an “ice breaker” exercise. The aim of the exercise was to meet three objectives: a critical and rational approximation to climate change in a context of uncertainty around possible future scenarios, involving the students in their own learning, and leaning on the materiality of their projects by asking them to build a scale prototype that floated or negotiated rising sea levels in any other way. The results of this exercise were highly satisfactory for both faculty and students. The latter got very involved in the process, and were able to build a highly convincing discourse supported by very interesting physical prototypes. En esta comunicación se describe una experiencia de mejora docente en tercer y cuarto curso proyectos en un triple máster en arquitectura e ingeniería en la Bartlett School of Architecture, Londres. Esta propuesta se desarrolló durante las cuatro primeras semanas de curso, a modo de ejercicio para “romper el hielo.” La intención era incidir en tres objetivos: una aproximación al problema del cambio climático de una manera crítica y racional ante la incertidumbre de los posibles escenarios futuros, implicar a los estudiantes en su propio aprendizaje, y profundizar en la materialidad real de los proyectos haciéndoles construir un prototipo a escala que flotase o se defendiera de la subida del nivel del mar por cualquier otro medio. Los resultados de este ejercicio fueron altamente satisfactorios para el profesorado y el estudiantado. Estos últimos se involucraron totalmente, construyendo un discurso totalmente convincente apoyado en prototipos muy interesantes.
