Architectural Graphics and Form Analysis

For two years between 1995 and 1997, I was student in the subjects of Architectural Graphics and Form Analysis - within the Architectural Graphics Department Seville University's School of Architecture. Then from 1997 to 1999 I became assistant undergraduate researcher within an innovation and research group led by Prof. Esteban de Manuel Jerez, which studied the transmission of architectural drawing in terms of teaching-learning processes, also analysing cross-disciplinary issues of social and environmental sustainability.

The group designed a Form Analysis course (for the 1998-99 academic semester) entirely devoted to generating proposals for turning Seville into a more sustainable city. All this work was subsequently presented in several articles and published on Seville University's Revista de Enseñanza Universitaria, as well as in papers we presented together at conferences on Architectural Graphics in Santiago de Compostela (1998) and Barcelona (2000).

Within the innovation and research group, I contributed to develop the methodological dimension of my Prof. Esteban de Manuel PhD work, which dealt with drawing in architectural training. Actually, chapter 8 of his dissertation (El dibujo en la formación de los arquitectos: Análisis del proceso de Enseñanza- Aprendizaje y sus implicaciones para la innovación educativa ['Drawing In Architectural Training: An Analysis of the Teaching-Learning Process and its Implications for Innovation in Training'] [2001], pp. 638-661), devoted to case studies on learning styles in drawing, deals my drawings from my student years, in light of its communicative goals and the techniques.

This fellowship (my first experience in a university department) was an extraordinary learning experience because of Esteban de Manuel de Jerez focus and expertise in pedagogy with a social approach.
