Architectural Education
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the 21st century, teaching practice is undergoing a profound transformation, incorporating new methodologies and innovating with new educational tools, driven by digitalization. Schools of architecture and building must enhance their capacity to integrate educational innovation, diversity, and connection with professional practice to train students in a changing and complex society. To this end, active methodologies are increasingly being adopted in higher education to foster creativity, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Good governance has been consolidated as a fundamental pillar in the management of public administrations. In this sense, the publication and reuse of open data by governments facilitate citizen participation and the continuous improvement of society's services. The increasing availability of open data and the implementation of open science policies are transforming the way governments share information and collaborate with society, creating economic value and facilitating the generation of new knowledge. Likewise, the design of cities and urban spaces is fundamental to the inter- and intra-personal development of citizens, all of which are of great interest nowadays.
