TOWARDS A NEW EUROPEAN BAUHAUS.movAbout education in architecture: towards an integrative pedagogy in the teaching of communication strategies for architectural design and photography | Presentation of a paper based on the didactic experience and refinement of three curricular units (CUs) in FAUP, which are Photography and Design Communication, articulated with Photography of Architecture, City and Territory. In addition, we consolidate research work on the uses of diverse visual strategies and representation methods for communicating architec-ture, city and territory, an integrative pedagogical approach with a special focus on photography as a transversal media within these areas of study. The text describes a collaborative and dynamic environment allowing for an informed appraisal of architecture and city space, understanding the diverse forms of its appropriation and giving students the possibility to participate in the discussion of the transformation of these territories. The teaching process adopted encourages the interaction between teachers, researchers and students, leading to a dynamic of discovery built collectively. All this favours a dialogical learning process, exploring the multifaceted richness of the territories under study and the way in which public spaces are trans-formed and architecture is designed. It will be shown the significant con-nection that is established between the CUs curriculum and the research developed in the Architecture, Art and Image research group. It is believed that this articulation between CUs and research coming from R&D project teams reinforces and provides conditions to stimulate the beginning of ac-tivities related with investigation, as well as the development of students’ critical reflexive competences, creativity and autonomy. Moreover, we also ensure that the articulated work of the CUs with research is open to various national and international institutions.
