Não abastecer o aparelho produtivo sem o transformar. Sobre a condição política da produção e do ensino-aprendizagem em Arquitectura

Abstract

The current dissertation regards architecture's disciplinary condition through its productive and educational structures, namely the relations between pedagogical practice and productive practice, its supplying processes and transformation processes. Its study subject is to identify, dissect and analyse the productive and educational apparatus in Architecture via its shapes, principles, methods and results, revisiting and reconsidering its developments until today in light of its political condition, exercising the consideration of the corresponding generator - generator-school -, labouring on the contradiction between the emancipatory becoming and its perspective considering the overall contemporaneity. The current work is the result of a qualitative basis investigation, using ethnographic methods and tools of participating observation, on the matters of pedagogy and institution, focusing on the particular case of FAUP, relating to the progression of the role of the architect in study and work, at school and in the city. It is concluded that, towards the transformation of the conditions for learning and production in architecture, in a liberating and emancipatory perspective, it is imperative the thought on social relations of production which conform society and State.
