La Investigación Arquitectónica Dentro de la Enseñanza del Análisis de Sitio en Arquitectura: Caso de Estudio

Main Article Content

Abstract

Numerous studies have shown that the incorporation of an investigative approach in the teaching of architecture workshop produces a significant impact on the integral development of students. In this context, a case study was carried out with the objective of exploring students' perception regarding the implementation of architectural research in the course of Territorial Architectural Design IV, Fourth semester of academic period 2023-01 at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, Ibarra.


 


The study methodology included a comprehensive literature review of architectural academic research processes and background. The participant observation method was also applied, which allowed the researcher to record data and impressions in a naturalistic way, without the students being aware of their observation. In addition, unstructured interviews were conducted with the coordinator of the subject, with the purpose of discussing and analyzing the shortcomings and results obtained in the case study.


 


The findings of the study reveal a remarkable development of soft skills, such as teamwork and assertive communication, as well as hard skills, which include handling tools for data collection, critical thinking, and the ability to analyse and interpret information. These results suggest that the application of research in the architecture workshop has provided students with tools and skills which have enabled them to participate actively in their learning process. However, a difficulty was identified in the ability of students to translate the information collected into an appropriate architectural language.
