INTERDISCIPLINA: LA ENSEÑANZA / APRENDIZAJE EN PROYECTOS DE DISEÑO URBANO INTERDISCIPLINARITY: TEACHING/LEARNING IN URBAN DESIGN PROJECTS

Abstract In the field of planning and design of cities, the concept of interdisciplinarity becomes increasingly important, not only by the need to provide transversal solutions to specific questions within the urban project, but also because it is understood that the city making is not the ground of a single discipline. Interdisciplinarity is intrinsic to urban studies. However, experience shows that this type of interaction between disciplines, specifically in the context of teaching and learning the urban design project, is not widespread yet. Slowly professionals and academics involved in city design and intervention are emphasizing on the need of interdisciplinary processes for those projects. In this paper we address the teaching and learning processes in the field of urban projects, assuming these as a starting point in the training of professionals involved in the city design problems. This work is based in the systematization and review of the results obtained in the research ^Interdisciplina- ACCAO (Remesar & Brandao, 2009), where we add new data collection obtained from interviews made to a new professional group in training, in the field of urban design, with the objective of generate conclusions about the argumentative language used in the urban design project development, as an interdisciplinary exercise, and also looking for a further discussion about the teaching/learning process of the urban design project with an interdisciplinary orientation.
