Diseño Arquitectónico de una Edificación Conectada con la Naturaleza: Un Proyecto Innovador de Educación y Aprendizaje = Architectural Design of a Building Connected with Nature: An Innovative Project of Education and Learning

This article analyzes and reveals the keys to an educational innovation project proposal, conceived and planned by me to be developed, as a professor and postdoctoral researcher, at the Integrated School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen (KADK), at the Institute of Architecture and Design (IAD). The project, where the classroom is conceived as an architecture laboratory, a meeting place between the subjects of Architectural Design and Building Construction, integrates a variety of innovative educational methodologies: Gamification, Flipped Classroom, Challenge-Based Learning, Thinking of Design (Design Thinking), Collective Intelligence, etc ... Through it, architecture students are able to improve their creativity and acquire various knowledge, strengths and complementary skills, including: The creation of a private space, reflection on the idea of inhabiting; the exploration of architectural design connected with nature; notions about sustainable design and recycling; the progression of your critical and creative thinking; the development of your graphic, written and oral communication skills; the activation of your independent and original thinking; and improving your leadership and organization skills, co-design, time management, conflict / problem solving skills, and decision making. The article offers resources for good practice and implementation of educational innovation, and therefore to facilitate innovation at the classroom level. It provides tools to overcome the challenges faced by innovative learning models in Architecture education. But above all it aims to foster innovation in architectural design education by empowering and inspiring teachers and other educational staff to use innovative teaching methods, while sharing their best practice and experience with their colleagues
