ARCHITECTURAL TOYS - A CONSTRUCAO LUDICA DA ARQUITECTURA

The curricular unit Architectural toys - A construcao ludica da Arquitectura has been taught at the University of Porto's Faculty of Architecture since 2012. In its more than ten years of existence, it has been creating and organising its own body of content and has produced a large number of academic papers. Originating from a hypothesis that articulated the playful condition with the architectural project, it has been revealing, thanks to the constant reorganisation of the classes and the contribution of the students, a network of connections that runs through architectural culture, revealing historical and conceptual narratives linked to the phenomena of education and teaching.
