Abstract

The communication is an architectural studio format designed with the aim of reserving a space that guarantees the dialogue between education and profession within the architecture career curriculum. This studio operates through an open invitation to an architect outside the academic environment, to teach for a whole semester within the intent of promote a direct interrelation between disciplinary teaching and practice. After 25 years of implementation, adjustments that this educational space have been required, there are some aspects that can be discussed. From a reflective perspective, certain existing tensions between training and profession are addressed, such as the correlation between professional quality and teaching quality, or the relevance of destabilizing the traditional conception of architectural practice not only from an educational perspective that thinks about the future, but also from other fields of disciplinary exercise.
